Storage vs DSO constraints: a practical guide

When BESS really works and how to mitigate grid & operations risks.

Best‑fit situations

• High self‑consumption with occasional power peaks.
• Tariff arbitrage potential across the day.

DSO & formalities

• Connection terms vs operating modes (on/off‑grid/peak‑shaving).
• Telemetry, curtailment and dispatch limitations.

ROI & risks

• Lifetime/DoD, warranties, service.
• PV curtailment reduction as a clear value driver.
