Applications of the BESS in the electricity sector are divided into three categories: front-the-meter (FTM), behind-the-meter (BTM), and off-grid, which for long-term operation have to be supported by an off-grid generator.
READ MORE"Behind the meter" (BTM) literally means a generation system installed on the customer side of the utility meter. These systems produce power that is primarily intended to be consumed on-site. A common type of behind-the-meter system is a rooftop solar array: the solar panels generate electricity that is then fed into the customer''s
READ MOREAbstract: This paper is motivated by the fact that behind-the-meter solar farms are being increasingly deployed in California and elsewhere in recent years. The objective is to use real-world micro-PMU measurements at a 4.3 MW behind-the-meter solar Photovoltaic (PV) farm to build a foundation for event-based situational awareness
READ MOREThe use of combined heat and power (CHP) systems has recently increased due to their high combined efficiency and low emissions. Using CHP systems in behind-the-meter applications, however, can introduce some challenges. Firstly, the CHP system must operate in load-following mode to prevent power export to the grid.
READ MOREIn the application of behind-the-meter, the BESS is normally equipped with a small energy capacity, which leads to frequent deep cycles. The energy-related applications have comparable low usage frequency, as there is normally periodic behavior regarding energy demand and energy prices for arbitrage-based services. The black start
