© 2025 by the authors.Transmission flexibility is a key component of current power systems and demands a reconfiguration of alternatives to expand transmission infrastructure. This paper addresses the use of a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) as an asset of the transmission system that provides increased transmission capacity. Furthermore, the BESS also supports operational procedures of the transmission system in the course of the re-establishment of normal operation during transients, which helps maintain the power quality requirements. A case study is presented to assess the additional capabilities that an operational 30 MW/60 MWh BESS primarily used to provide congestion relief in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, could provide to the power system. Based on a 5-year horizon transmission and generation expansion plans by local governing bodies, a set of four alternative applications for this BESS was proposed and studied, as follows: (1) increased operational flexibility under contingencies and maintenance, (2) islanded operation for increased reliability, (3) grid support during system restoration, and (4) increased hosting capacity for variable renewables. The results show that the BESS improves performance and power quality indexes while aiding the operation during contingencies.
