# Policies for battery charging
## Battery
Capacity: 2MWh \
Charging Power: 1MW \
Discharging Power: 1MW

## Baseline policy
Determining 2 thresholds for battery charging and discharging. Charging when the imbalance price is below the lower threshold and discharging when the imbalance price is above the upper threshold.
