Technical challenges in co-location of battery storage and generation plants

Abstract

This paper has described the technical considerations that are necessary to ensure the cost-effective and reliable connection of battery energy storage systems co-located with existing generation plants. The connection requirements of typical battery energy storage systems have been described and the procedures required to meet operational constrictions for connection at an existing plant are explained.
