A framework for different storage use cases in distribution systems

Fluctuating renewable energy resources (RES) connected to all voltage levels change the electricity infrastructure. In the evolving system, flexibility is the key for a stable operation. Energy storage systems (ESS) can provide the necessary flexibility, but also lead to conflicts of interests among the stakeholders of the electricity system. In this paper a framework for analysing potential multifunctional use cases (UC) for multiple users of ESS and for identifying conflict of interests is introduced.
