The market clearing price strategy is included at the lower formulation level, considering minimizing the expected operation cost of electricity and thermal power generation units subject to the optimal power flow equations of electrical and thermal networks. The Karush-Kuhn-Tucker method obtains a single-level formulation for the design.
The upper level maximizes individual EH's profit, while the lower level maximizes social welfare by adopting a market clearing price (MCP). Various studies have been conducted on the energy management of different energy sources and storage devices in energy networks.
However, the presence of storage devices along with renewable sources and managing their charge and discharge power can significantly reduce the power level of EGUs at all hours. Furthermore, the energy price is proportional to which loads are fed by which EGUs [ 40 ].
Moreover, these storage devices lead to an 11.2 % enhancement in the economic status of the renewable hub. Optimal energy management of renewable hubs based on the storage system has led to a 27 % enhancement in energy network operation status compared to optimal power flow studies.
As fossil-fuel-based power plants lead to significant pollutant emissions such as carbon dioxide, researchers and the power industry introduced renewable energy sources (RESs) to deal with it [ 1 ]. Considering that RES's power generation differs from customers' power demand, energy storage systems (ESSs) were utilized to fill this gap [ 2 ].
The charging and discharging efficiency of TES is 75 % [ 14 ]. The minimum and initial energy for the mentioned storage devices are about 10 % of the storage device capacity. To adjust the flexibility of REHs, the flexibility tolerance is assumed to be 0.05 MW. As a remark, there are several variants for CAES.
The global solar storage container market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 200% in the past two years. Pre-fabricated containerized solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new utility-scale storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 40% market share, driven by streamlined permitting processes and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 15-25%. Europe follows closely with 32% market share, where standardized container designs have cut installation timelines by 60% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with China's manufacturing scale reducing container prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting mobile container solutions for rapid electrification, with typical payback periods of 3-5 years. Major projects now deploy clusters of 20+ containers creating storage farms with 100+MWh capacity at costs below $280/kWh.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving solar storage container performance while reducing costs. Next-generation thermal management systems maintain optimal operating temperatures with 40% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $80/kWh to $45/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple containers to operate as coordinated virtual power plants, increasing revenue potential by 25% through peak shaving and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and gas detection systems have reduced insurance premiums by 30% for container-based projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple container additions at just $210/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial projects typically achieving payback in 4-7 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show 20ft containers (1-2MWh) starting at $350,000 and 40ft containers (3-6MWh) from $650,000, with volume discounts available for large orders.
