// Design of flexible grid connection conditions (FCAs) for storage systems

Market-optimized large-scale batteries and hybrid plants can exacerbate local grid bottlenecks if their operation is driven solely by exchange prices. ZSW supports grid operators and storage system operators in integrating storage units into the distribution grid in a grid-supportive manner—through flexible grid connection agreements and comprehensive technical as well as regulatory analyses.

Our services include:

  • Design and evaluation of flexible grid connection agreements (FCAs) with dynamic, forecast-based active power limits
  • Simulation and assessment of grid impacts from flexibility marketing in short-term energy and balancing power markets
  • Analysis of the grid-supportive nature of market-optimized storage operation based on historical redispatch signals
  • Scientific assessment of regulatory frameworks and recommendations for amendments
  • Support in long-term grid expansion planning considering storage systems
  • Analysis of the operating behavior of battery storage in hybrid power plants and in co-location with wind and PV plants
