Because traction power is typically very peaky in nature this capacity is not optimally utilised. Installing battery storage facilities at traction BSPs and unlocking connection agreements to enable two-way dynamic flow could shift rail energy demand away from peak periods, unlocking capacity for other customers; support regional balancing of supply and demand; fulfil unmet demands for flexibility services in areas with network constraints; and increase the commercial scope for new traction-connected generation capacity, replacing curtailment with load shifting and export capability.
