What will 'new energy storage parameters' mean for battery operators?

It is the mechanism behind 'new energy storage parameters' - one of the key improvements under the Open Balancing Platform programme of improvements, which aims to effectively end the '15-minute rule'. But what will this mean for battery operators and how could it enable longer battery dispatches in the Balancing Mechanism?

What if a battery contracted 40 MW capacity in dynamic containment high?

Operators must reserve volume to deliver on these contracts if required. If the battery contracted 40 MW capacity in Dynamic Containment High, it would need to reserve 10 MWh of energy - enough to deliver this service for 15 minutes. Its MDB would decrease to 20 MWh, while its MDO would remain unchanged.

How does a battery control room work?

Batteries instead use this existing value to communicate how much power they could import or export for a period of 15-minutes. This way, the control room is able to dispatch assets for short lengths of time and be confident that they will be able to deliver within their state of charge constraints.
