Modeling process for the cost profile of a Energy Management System (EMS)

Aug , 27 2021

Modeling is an iterative process that starts with a first estimate of battery specification that is combined with the other inputs to the EMS to deliver a cost profile. It calculates the lifetime costs and operating revenue for a size of ESS. By repeating the process with a range of different sizes, it’s possible to identify the sweet spot, where the operator will find the optimum balance bet...
