Abstract
A battery energy storage system for use in providing balancing services to an electrical power distribution network is set to monitor the state of charge (SoC) of a storage battery (). If the SoC is within an optimal range (), the balancing service is provided solely by charging and discharging the battery. If the battery SoC falls below a predetermined low threshold (), a first non-battery asset is operated to increase power supplied to the network. Similarly, if the battery SoC rises above a predetermined high threshold (), a second non-battery asset is operated to provide the balancing service. With this arrangement, requirements on the energy storage capacity of the battery are reduced. For the system to meet balancing service regulatory requirements, the battery need only remain capable of charging or discharging beyond each threshold () for a period of time that covers that taken for the respective asset to reach operational capacity.
