Technical Analysis and Economic Simulation for Applications of Battery Energy Storage Systems in Electric Power Systems

This work consists of a technical analysis and economic simulation of the use of Power Armature Systems (BESS), by means of lithium ion batteries, connected in different starting proposals to the Electric Power System (SEP). A technical analysis consists of a research on the different types of lithium ion battery technologies and their different non-SEP applications. As simulations are to compare the price of kWh originating from BESS against the price of kWh supplied by the market. The result obtained from simulations, resulted in a price range of MWh from R1,550.00 to R730.00 (varying between different types and types of systems). This result indicates a possible technical-economic potential resulting in the reduction of custody of two services, two agents that are members of the electrical power system.
