Methodology/results: We employ a stylized model that captures essential features of an energy distribution system, including convex costs, stochastic demand, storage efficiency, and line losses. Using dynamic programming, we optimize storage operations and derive value function properties that are key to analyzing the storage investment decisions.
In the in-day optimization stage, based on the optimized output curve, taking real-time demand response into account, the real-time charge-discharge power of energy storage is adjusted dynamically with the goal of minimizing income loss, thus to realize adaptive adjustment of distributed energy storage and eliminate the risk of income loss.
Abstract: Distributed energy storage (DES) on the user side has two commercial modes including peak load shaving and demand management as main profit modes to gain profits, and the capital recovery generally takes 8–9 years.
Finally, the proposed day-ahead optimization is tested in a realistic situation. Demand-side management, together with the integration of distributed energy generation and storage, are considered increasingly essential elements for implementing the smart grid concept and balancing massive energy production from renewable sources.
This problem encompasses optimizing storage capacities across all locations, with the objective of minimizing the total storage investment and energy generation costs.
In order to further improve the return rate on the investment of distributed energy storage, this paper proposes an optimized economic operation strategy of distributed energy storage with multi-profit mode operation.
