Grid congestion has become a major issue in many European countries, as it affects not only the reliability of the electricity system, but also can slow down the energy transition due to the fact that renewable energy sources and low-carbon technologies cannot be connected to the grid.
In a recent study, the potential of large-scale batteries to mitigate grid congestion has been investigated, by analysing a sample of congested areas in the Netherlands. The following elements will be addressed during this presentation:
- What are the technical capabilities of large-scale batteries to mitigate the impact of grid congestion?
- What are the associated costs and is there a societal justification for this application?
