Do energy storage systems achieve the expected peak-shaving and valley-filling effect?
Abstract: In order to make the energy storage system achieve the expected peak-shaving and valley-filling effect, an energy-storage peak-shaving scheduling strategy considering the improvement goal of peak-valley difference is proposed.
What is Peak-Valley arbitrage?
The peak-valley arbitrage is the main profit mode of distributed energy storage system at the user side (Zhao et al., 2022). The peak-valley price ratio adopted in domestic and foreign time-of-use electricity price is mostly 3–6 times, and even reach 8–10 times in emergency cases.
Are energy storage systems more cost-effective than batteries for Energy Arbitrage?
The retrofitted energy storage system is more cost-effective than batteries for energy arbitrage. In the context of global decarbonisation, retrofitting existing coal-fired power plants (CFPPs) is an essential pathway to achieving sustainable transition of power systems.
Is a retrofitted energy storage system profitable for Energy Arbitrage?
Optimising the initial state of charge factor improves arbitrage profitability by 16 %. The retrofitting scheme is profitable when the peak-valley tariff gap is >114 USD/MWh. The retrofitted energy storage system is more cost-effective than batteries for energy arbitrage.
What is energy arbitrage?
Energy arbitrage means that ESSs charge electricity during valley hours and discharge it during peak hours, thus making profits via the peak-valley electricity tariff gap [ 14 ]. Zafirakis et al. [ 15] explored the arbitrage value of long-term ESSs in various electricity markets.
Is energy arbitrage profitability a sizing and scheduling Co-Optimisation model?
It proposes a sizing and scheduling co-optimisation model to investigate the energy arbitrage profitability of such systems. The model is solved by an efficient heuristic algorithm coupled with mathematical programming.
