Multi-market value-stacking: Battery control for combined imbalance participation and non-uniform FCR bidding
Researchers have developed a novel two-stage control framework for battery energy storage systems to optimize their participation in multiple energy markets. This framework introduces non-uniform bidding strategies for Frequency Containment Reserve (FCR) by using data-driven optimization and a Deep Reinforcement Learning agent. The approach aims to better balance reserving energy for FCR with exploiting opportunities for imbalance arbitrage. Preliminary results indicate a 7.56% profit increase compared to traditional uniform bidding methods. AI
