Therefore, this paper starts from summarizing the role and configuration method of energy storage in new energy power stations and then proposes multidimensional evaluation indicators, including the solar curtailment rate, forecasting accuracy, and economics, which are taken as the optimization targets for configuring energy storage systems in PV power stations.
The photovoltaic installed capacity set in the figure is 2395kW. When the energy storage capacity is 1174kW h, the user's annual expenditure is the smallest and the economic benefit is the best. Fig. 4. The impact of energy storage capacity on annual expenditures.
This paper considers the annual comprehensive cost of the user to install the photovoltaic energy storage system and the user's daily electricity bill to establish a bi-level optimization model. The outer model optimizes the photovoltaic & energy storage capacity, and the inner model optimizes the operation strategy of the energy storage.
The optimal configuration capacity of photovoltaic and energy storage depends on several factors such as time-of-use electricity price, consumer demand for electricity, cost of photovoltaic and energy storage, and the local annual solar radiation.
The installation of photovoltaic energy storage systems for large industrial customers can reduce expenditures on electricity purchase and has considerable economic benefits. Different types of energy storage have different life due to diversity in their materials.
Energy storage configuration models were developed for different modes, including self-built, leased, and shared options. Each mode has its own tailored energy storage configuration strategy, providing theoretical support for energy storage planning in various commercial contexts.
The outer objective function is the minimum annual comprehensive cost of the user, and the decision variable is the configuration capacity of photovoltaic and energy storage; the inner objective function is the minimum daily electricity purchase cost, and the decision variable is the charging and discharging strategy of energy storage.
Consumers can use storage to use more of their self-produced electricity (for instance from rooftop solar power).
