Battery energy storage can positively impact the penetration of distributed solar photovoltaic (PV) systems while positively impacting the whole grid’s hosting capacity in two different ways. First, it increases the amount of PV self-consumption and, therefore, increases the value of PV generation for prosumers. Second, batteries can provide ancillary services with particular value to frequency control. In this study, we analyze the techno-economic benefits and trade-offs for the prosumer and the grid associated with a pool of distributed storage systems, managed by an aggregator participating in the Swiss frequency control market. To this end, we apply a dispatch model to behind-the-meter batteries to quantify the added value of providing automatic and manual frequency restoration reserve (aFRR and mFRR) for prosumers. We find that the provision of aFRR and mFRR considerably increases the attractiveness of battery investments, in particular for large assets. However, the use of batteries for aFRR and mFRR brings along a reduction in total PV self-sufficiency, as well as a reduced battery lifetime, which should be taken into account by the prosumer at the moment of joining an aggregator, highlighting the duality between the prosumer’s self-sufficiency and financial revenue.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100560,"journal":{"name":"Future Batteries","volume":"5 ","pages":"Article 100023"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143131579","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents a comprehensive review of the design, operation, and performance of PCM-based hybrid BTMS designs for prismatic LIBs. For the hybrid BTMS for prismatic LIBs, the article has been divided into two primary design types: hybrid-liquid cooled (LC)-BTMS and hybrid-air cooled (AC)-BTMS. Discussions on the various hybrid BTMS designs have been provided. Most of the studies reported on hybrid BTMS designs utilized the numerical simulation analysis; therefore, details about the numerical simulation methodology and battery heat generation models have also been presented.

In this study, the mathematical treatment reported in a previous study for the transfer function of the BDW impedance is extended for the derivation of a transfer function representing the BDWf impedance. The new transfer function representing the BDWf impedance is able to reveal the contribution of the diffusion process which is overlapped with the CPE behaviour in the BDWf impedance spectrum.

The effect of the electrode diffusion distance of lithium ions on the frequency-impedance spectrum and output voltage response of a Li-ion battery is simulated through the Simulink model of the battery.
