Battery

The com.powsybl.iidm.network.Battery interface is used to model a battery. A battery on the electric grid is an energy storage device that is either capable of capturing energy from the grid or of injecting it into the grid. The electric energy on the grid side is thus transformed into chemical energy on the battery side and vice versa. The power flow is bidirectional and it is controlled via a power electronic converter.

Characteristics

Attribute	Type	Unit	Required	Default value	Description
p0	double	MW	yes	-	The Constant active power
q0	double	MVar	yes	-	The Constant reactive power
MinP	double	MW	yes	-	The Minimal active power
MaxP	double	MW	yes	-	The Maximum active power
RegulatingTerminal	`TerminalExt`	-	no	-	The terminal used for regulation

Active Limits

The minimal active power is expected to be lower than the maximal active power.

Examples

This example shows how to create a new Battery in the network:

Battery battery = network.getVoltageLevel("VL").newBattery()
    .setId("BAT")
    .setNode(1)
    .setP0(10)
    .setQ0(0)
    .setMinP(-12.0)
    .setMaxP(12.0)
    .add();

Extensions

Active power control

This extension is used for both batteries and generators, see generators.
