Characteristics of residential battery storage system for better integration with electric distribution system

Our objective is to determine the characteristics of a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), based on different battery technologies characteristics, which will best operate in parallel with an existing electric distribution grid, to fulfill the requirements of residential customer services. To achieve our goal a set of the more common battery technologies used nowadays is defined to combine their performance characteristics in one system. We present preliminary results using ES-Select software to select the battery technologies to combine.
