Electric storage systems within an active distribution network Electro-chemical storage systems with up to 5kW and 10kWh are

combined with almost every third decentralized power unit.

An algorithm is implemented in MATLAB Simulink with CPLEX-Solver to fulfill different operation concepts (grid vs. market)

The study at hand focuses on grid purposes and compares the performance of centrally installed systems (next to transformer) with those that are positioned decentrally (next to power unit).
