Flexibility vs. grid stability: striking the right balance for grid-friendly battery storage

Analyze the trade-off between profit maximization through market flexibility and the technical requirements of grid stability in order to define the optimal operating point for large-scale battery storage systems.
Explore regulatory frameworks and technical protocols governing the use of storage for frequency control and local grid support, without compromising economic attractiveness for operators.
Identify innovative control strategies that enable storage resources to dynamically prioritize between market-based revenue streams and system-critical grid services, in order to strengthen the resilience of Switzerland’s energy infrastructure.
