Specification and Assessment of Electric Energy Storage Systems based on Generic Storage Load Profile

Due to the increasing amount of renewable generation, storage capacities are needed. Important dimensions of every Electric Energy Storage System (EESS) that have to be determined before the installation are its nominal power and storage capacity. This contribution proposes a standardized method to specify those properties and to analyze the needs of the storage operator. In order to clarify the process the method is applied to an exemplary application. For a small industrial plant the storage dimensions are determined and important storage characteristics are calculated.
