Battery Partitioning

Virtual segmentation for multi-objective optimization

Battery Partitioning Strategy
Why do you need it?
  • Conflicting Objectives: Batteries often need to perform multiple tasks simultaneously (e.g., peak shaving vs. trading).
  • Safety Margins: Virtual partitioning reserves dedicated capacity for critical safety functions.
  • Revenue Stacking: Allows for maximizing revenue streams without compromising reliability.

Peak Shaving Partition

Time Power Load Max Grid Limit Discharging

The isolated partition activates specifically when load exceeds the grid limit, ensuring the site avoids penalty charges.

Cost Optimization Partition

Day-ahead Price High Price Low Battery Action Charge Discharge Charge

This partition is activated when there is no risk of exceeding grid limits, allowing for strategic charging and discharging based on price signals.

The presented example is simplified for illustration purposes. In reality, the EMS carries out further processes to ensure safe and reliable operation.
