What is pumped storage power station (PSPS)?
The pumped storage power station (PSPS) is a special power source that has flexible operation modes and multiple functions. With the rapid economic development in China, the energy demand and the peak-valley load difference of the power grid are continuing to increase.
How much does electricity cost in a valley?
Table 1 shows the peak-valley electricity price data of the region. The valley electricity price is 0.0399 $/kWh, the flat electricity price is 0.1317 $/kWh, and the peak electricity price is 0.1587 $/kWh. The operation cycles (charging-discharging) of the Li-ion battery is about 5000–6000.
What is pumped Energy Storage?
The PSPS is the best tool for energy storage. The pumped storage has the function of energy reserve, and it solves the problem of electricity production and consumption at the same time, and not easy to store. Thus, it can effectively regulate the dynamic balance of the power systems in electricity generation and utilization.
What is the difference between Peak-Valley electricity price and flat electricity price?
Among the four groups of electricity prices, the peak electricity price and flat electricity price are gradually reduced, the valley electricity price is the same, and the peak-valley electricity price difference is 0.1203 $/kWh, 0.1188 $/kWh, 0.1173 $/kWh and 0.1158 $/kWh respectively. Table 5. Four groups of peak-valley electricity prices.
Is a PSPS a good energy storage system?
Compared with them, the PSPS investment is lower, the service life is longer, and the efficiency of energy conversion is more stable. As a result, the PSPS is currently the most mature and practical way for large-scale energy storage in the power system. The PSPS is the optimal tool for load regulation.
Does energy storage contribute to peaking shaving and ancillary services?
Conclusions Energy storage can participate in peaking shaving and ancillary services. It generates revenue though electricity price arbitrage and reserve service. The BESS's optimization model and the charging-discharging operation control strategy are established to make maximum revenue.
