What is a stackable energy storage system?

Stackable Energy Storage Systems, or SESS, represent a cutting-edge paradigm in energy storage technology. At its core, SESS is a versatile and dynamic approach to accumulating electrical energy for later use. Unlike conventional energy storage systems that rely on monolithic designs, SESS adopts a modular concept.

How do stacked energy storage systems work?

Stacked energy storage systems utilize modular design and are divided into two specifications: parallel and series. They increase the voltage and capacity of the system by connecting battery modules in series and parallel, and expand the capacity by parallel connecting multiple cabinets. Mainstream…

Can service stacking improve energy storage system integration?

Service stacking is a promising method to improve energy storage system integration. There are several interesting cases where service stacking is crucial. Frequency supportive services are the most common to add when expanding portfolios. There is no standard method to solve optimization of service portfolios.

What is the optimal ESS for service stacking?

From the reviewed literature the “optimality” approach varies frequently between the two cases with a majority of objective functions maximizing profit as main target. From the review it is found that the typical ESS used for service stacking is a 1C storage with approx. 1 MW/1 MWh rated power and energy capacities.

What is service stacking using ESS?

Service stacking using ESS for grid applications Service stacking, alternatively value stacking or revenue stacking, is a promising method to optimize and maximize the technical and economic potential of an ESS. The aim is to find one or more additional services which the ESS can provide, besides of the main service.

Is service stacking a good idea for a power demanding main service?

The opposite is valid for a power demanding main service. One interesting approach is to consider service stacking already during the dimensioning process. This approach requires an optimization of the storage size given the specified portfolio, accounting for all relevant services included.
