Studies indicate that operating battery storage systems for multiple uses as community electricity storage system (CES) promises superior benefits. This seems decisive, since cheaper flexibility options such as demand response (DR) are more applicable and might further reduce the market size for storage facilities. This research paper aims to analyze the competition effects of CES with simultaneous application of DR. The optimization results of the synthetic case studies provide insights in the profitability level, the service provision and the flexibility potential. While even under requested legal circumstances a CES is only partially profitable, the economic situation improves in terms of an optimal storage utilization. This, however, is reduced through competition effects with DR.

Taking into account existing cross-sectoral demand and supply structures, diverse communities require specific solutions. With an appropriate business model, municipal utilities might be capable to transform themselves in a successful way. For better decision-making, they need to investigate under what conditions certain business cases might represent a sustainable part of the future system and their future portfolio. On the basis of an innovative multi-model and cross-sector approach, this research paper aims to assess opportunities of such business models in terms of four strategic targets: affordability, profitability, autarky and ecology. The results of the combined evaluation of synthetic case studies provide insights under what conditions different business models show positive performance.
