The differentiation of the various BESS solutions is not straightforward - from the customer point of view it may be a delivery of the technology where the customer owns the BESS or delivery as a service (BESS as a Service). The service options may differ from each other.
BESS as a service provider should study both the technical and the economic feasibility of the system to be able to make investment decision. In Finland, the DSO has the metering and data delivery responsibility for other energy market participants, but this may not be the case for all European countries.
It is concluded that the key enablers for the BESS as a service business model are a regulatory framework that allows stacked revenues and technological interoperability across a multi-customer business model. 1. Introduction This paper examines the business model and regulatory challenges of storage as a service in the Finnish market.
DSO's in Finland are now starting rollouts of next-generation electricity meters, which are capable of receiving, implementing and forwarding load control commands with higher reliability and better response times. Today the available control systems still vary in response times depending on the reading technology.
Utilization of portfolio of revenue flows i.e. operation in multi-customer environment. One of the most promising applications of the BESS is the participation in frequency regulation FCR (Frequency Containment Reserves). The BESS can perform either FCR-N (in Normal operation) or FCR-D (in Disturbances), or both.
