Abstract: The multi-purpose usage of battery energy storage systems (BESSs) increases the exploitation of their flexibility potential. This can be further enhanced when numerous small BESSs are combined into a swarm and marketed collectively by an aggregator. To this end, a unified representation of remaining flexibility for each BESS is needed that meets the requirements of both, a multi-purpose usage and a distributed swarm design. In this work, we present a compact model called Amplify (for abstract multi-purpose-limited flexibility). It can be used by BESSs to determine how much flexibility remains after fulfilling a primary application and accepting additional obligations. It includes an integrated detection of conflicts in the planned schedule of a BESS. The validity of the presented flexibility model is discussed based on a thorough evaluation. It was shown, that the model is quickly computable and does not need much data volume during transmission to the aggregator. Amplify is already used in real operation by an industrial partner.
