Community batteries allow individuals to simultaneously save money and reduce their carbon footprint, but there are advantages for others, too, says Steve.
“For the DNSP (Distributed Network Service Provider), community batteries help to stabilise the grid by absorbing residential solar during the day and discharging it at night, when demand for energy is often at its highest,” he says.
“Community batteries also allow the energy retailers to participate in the energy market by buying power when it’s cheap, and selling when it’s expensive. They can also trade on FCAS (Frequency Control Ancillary Services) markets to stabilise the grid frequency,” he adds.
