# Congestion management within a multi-service scheduling coordination scheme for large battery storage systems

## TL;DR

This paper proposes a scheduling framework for large battery storage systems that manages grid congestion while enabling multi-service operation, optimizing profitability and ensuring grid reliability.

## Contribution

It introduces a novel day-ahead bandwidth-based scheduling scheme that combines congestion management with other grid services for large batteries.

## Key findings

- Framework successfully manages congestion without full storage utilization.
- Bandwidth scheduling enhances battery profitability by offering residual capacities.
- Ensures grid stability through safe operation domains.

## Abstract

There is a growing interest in the use of largescale battery storage systems for grid services. This technology has been deployed in several countries to increase transmission systems capabilities and reliability. In particular, large-scale battery storage systems could be used for congestion management and the French Transmission System Operator (RTE) is currently installing 3 large batteries for 2020 at the sub-transmission grid level for this purpose. The battery operation for congestion management does not require the full storage capacities at all times. Thus, the residual capacities can be offered to other services to increase batteries profitability. This paper presents the framework which will be used by RTE for battery operation scheduling to combine congestion management with other services by computing day-ahead bandwidths defining available storage capacities. The bandwidths represent safe domains for grid operation scheduling: as long as the battery operation is performed within these bandwidths, there will be no grid congestion or grid congestions will be managed.
