This research aims to evaluate the potential business case for BESS in Distribution Grids by integrating market application and additional DSO services. The feasibility of the solution is verified via a case study of a Photovoltaic - Fast Charging Station (PV-FCS). Three players are involved, namely PV-FCS owner, DSO, and BESS owner. The study shows that the BESS owner would have additional revenues, the DSO benefits from a reduced peak power and the possibility of deferring network investments and the PV-FCS owner from an overall 30% tariff reduction thanks to the peak shaving performed by the BESS.
