New SynGRID paper published in Energies: Optimizing battery storage for prosumers and energy communities
The SynGRID project is pleased to share a new scientific publication in Energies titled “Optimization of Battery Energy Storage Systems for Prosumers and Energy Communities Under Capacity-Based Tariffs.”
The paper presents research developed through the collaboration between the Institute for Innovation and Development of the University of Ljubljana and the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and Information Technology Osijek.
The study examines how the transition to capacity-based network tariffs in Slovenia affects the sizing and operation of battery energy storage systems for prosumers and energy communities. The results show a clear shift in the role of battery systems from traditional energy arbitrage toward peak shaving.
The research also highlights the value of combining distributed battery storage with peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading, which can improve energy sharing and reduce the overall battery capacity required within an energy community.
This publication is another important outcome of the SynGRID project and reflects the strong cooperation between the project partners in addressing key challenges of the energy transition.
