Distributed energy storage aggregation, quantitative evaluation of replicability and scalability

The paper presents the results of a study on replicability and scalability carried out within the SENSIBLE project. In this study a simplified methodology for simulating the behaviour of a market based distributed energy storages coordination has been implemented. Attention has been paid to capture the core of the problems without falling into excessive details of the different solutions (centralised, decentralised) developed. After this, data have been gathered or simulated for a large number of necessary datasets, including electricity consumption in different neighbours, electricity wholesale and retail prices, in six European countries. Central to this stage has been the use of BUS (Bottom Up Simulator) a load profiles simulator developed at MINES Paris Tech which has been used to simulate load curves in the different European countries considering historical local weather conditions.
