Abstract: This work proposes a new Energy Management System (EMS) for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). The goal is to make a BESS profitable in the new environment considering massive use of batteries that can be foreseen in the next future, due to the predictive increase of clean energy resources. The developed EMS considers two levels of optimization. The first level models the participation of the BESS in an Ancillary Service Market and schedules the BESS. The second level, the most innovative, is responsible for optimally distributing the power set-points obtained previously among the various battery banks considering, in addition to the battery aging, also the different efficiencies of battery banks, converters, and transformers. Moreover, this second-level manages both active and reactive power flows, and losses. Both optimization algorithms have been modeled as Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) and implemented in GAMS using CPLEX as a solver. The results are encouraging: compared with the common industrial practice in which the load profile is equally shared among the individual batteries within a BESS, the two new proposed EMS strategies guarantee for a long period of operation (10-years) a consistent reduction in the number of batteries replacement (around 47%), thus ensuring significant cost savings. Moreover, the proposed BESS model accurately approximates the real physical behavior of the system, leading to an average error in State-of Energy (SoE) evaluation below 0.6%, which is almost one order of magnitude lower than the ones obtained by simpler models from literature with degradation only SoE-dependent.
