Benefits of distributed energy storage in Podgorica

What is distributed energy storage?

Distributed energy storage is a solution for increasing self-consumption of variable renewable energy such as solar and wind energy at the end user site. Small-scale energy storage systems can be centrally coordinated by "aggregation" to offer different services to the grid, such as operational flexibility and peak shaving.

What are the benefits of distributed energy resources?

Distributed energy resources offer multiple benefits to consumers, support decarbonisation, and improve resilience The primary beneficiaries of DERs are the consumers who own them. Distributed PV can supply affordable electricity to households and businesses, reducing their dependence on the grid.

Should energy storage aggregation be a trade-off between private and system benefits?

From modelling method perspective, this implies that models of the electricity system should account for the trade-offs between private and system benefits of energy storage aggregation. Yet it is unlikely that consumers will allow an aggregator to control their resources at all unless they are paid a financial incentive to do so .

How does storage aggregation affect private benefits?

Private benefits of storage aggregation drops by 20% if aggregated storage devices increase five-fold. Distributed energy storage is a solution for increasing self-consumption of variable renewable energy such as solar and wind energy at the end user site.
