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.
The model aims to minimize the load peak-to-valley difference after peak-shaving and valley-filling. We consider six existing mainstream energy storage technologies: pumped hydro storage (PHS), compressed air energy storage (CAES), super-capacitors (SC), lithium-ion batteries, lead-acid batteries, and vanadium redox flow batteries (VRB).
A simulation based on a real power network verified that the proposed strategy could effectively reduce the load difference between the valley and peak. These studies aimed to minimize load fluctuations to achieve the maximum energy storage utility.
Therefore, minimizing the load peak-to-valley difference after energy storage, peak-shaving, and valley-filling can utilize the role of energy storage in load smoothing and obtain an optimal configuration under a high-quality power supply that is in line with real-world scenarios.
Finally, taking the actual load data of a certain area as an example, the advantages and disadvantages of this strategy and the constant power control strategy are compared through simulation, and it is verified that this strategy has a better effect of peak shaving and valley filling. Conferences > 2021 11th International Confe...
Minimizing the load peak-to-valley difference after energy storage peak shaving and valley-filling is an objective of the NLMOP model, and it meets the stability requirements of the power system. The model can overcome the shortcomings of the existing research that focuses on the economic goals of configuration and hourly scheduling.
