| Summary: | Abstract The multi-purpose usage of battery energy storage systems (BESSs) increases the exploitation of their flexibility potential. This can be further enhanced when a large number of 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 which we call abstract multi-purpose-limited flexibility (Amplify). It can be used by an aggregator to determine how much flexibility remains after accepting obligations and includes an integrated detection of conflicts in the planned schedule of a BESS. It is shown that the model is quickly computable and does not need much data volume during transmission.
