Can EMS manage a battery energy storage system?

Abstract: In this paper, an Energy Management System (EMS) that manages a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is implemented. It performs peak shaving of a local load and provides frequency regulation services using Frequency Containment Reserve (FCR-N) in the Swedish reserve market.

What is an energy management system?

Used effectively, an Energy Management System can be a pivotal lever to pull on to reduce operational costs for sites using energy storage. Its cost-effectiveness lies in the following key functions that require optimum programming. EMS provides constant monitoring of all energy-related systems and processes.

Can energy management system manage a battery energy storage system?

Multiple such systems can be aggregated to improve flexibility of the system. In this paper, an Energy Management System (EMS) that manages a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is implemented.

What is an Energy Management System (EMS)?

By definition, an Energy Management System (EMS) is a technology platform that optimises the use and operation of energy-related assets and processes.

How EMS can help a energy storage plant?

EMS can monitor the real-time data of the equipment to determine whether there are safety risks in the energy storage plant, and start the early warning system; According to the energy management measures, comprehensively control the equipment operation and send commands to PCS.

How does an EMS system work?

The EMS system dispatches each of the storage systems. Depending on the application, the EMS may have a component co-located with the energy storage system (Byrne 2017).
