Abstract
In recent years, we can see an enormous rise of distributed energy resources (DER) of which the biggest interest is in renewable energy sources (RES). To support their smooth integration, battery storage systems (BESS) are very often recommended and used to balance the RESs’ output power fluctuations. Considering the proposed rise of electric mobility, the used batteries of electric vehicles can be applied for second life batteries energy storage systems (SLBESS) to support the operation of the grid with renewables. To do it efficiently, the operation of SLBESS has to be simulated in advance. As a support of these activities, the CIGRE Task Force has developed a few European network benchmarks for real-world simulations. The aim of the paper will be the presentation of the use of a such benchmark network for the simulation of SLBESS integration and application.
