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.
The results indicate that the arbitrage characteristics and breakeven costs can be used to guide the choice of energy storage system development (capacity, effectiveness, and cost) and to determine the constraints and potential economic benefits for stakeholders who are considering investing in energy storage systems.
Using this approach, arbitrage strategies are developed herein to optimize the time of storage and regeneration in order to maximize this revenue relative to storage costs. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study that employs arbitrage analysis and optimization on energy storage systems with a real daily electric price diagram.
However, when the proportion of reserve capacity continues to increase, the increase of reactive power compensation income is not obvious and the active output of converter is limited, which reduces the income of peak-valley arbitrage and thus the overall income is decreased.
As shown by the three curves, when the loan period is more extended from 5 years to 20 years, the revenue is increased, which allows for a higher breakeven cost of capacity cost of the energy storage plant. However, when efficiency drops, this decreases arbitrage revenue such that the breakeven capacity cost also decreases.
Based on the above arbitrage revenue and capacity costs, the potential selections of energy storage technologies can be analyzed in more detail for maximum profitability once breakeven costs are achieved via attainment of technology readiness and/or system cost reductions.
