Battery energy storage system to smooth out peaks and fill valleys

The results of this study reveal that, with an optimally sized energy storage system, power-dense batteries reduce the peak power demand by 15 % and valley filling by 9.8 %, while energy-dense batteries fill the valleys by 15 % and improve the peak power demand by 9.3 %. The second approach is the use of energy storage systems (ESS) [8]. This approach has the potential to promote power smoothing without compromising the production level of the PV plant [9]. The main energy storage technologies associated with renewable energy generation are hydro-pumped, supercapacitors, and batteries.

Can a stationary battery energy storage system reduce peak loads?

However, with falling costs of lithium-ion battery (LIBs), stationary battery energy storage system (BESSs) are becoming increasingly attractive as an alternative method to reduce peak loads [ 4, 5 ]. The peak shaving field has seen an increasing interest in research during the last years.

Do energy storage systems achieve the expected peak-shaving and valley-filling effect?

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.

Are battery storage systems a viable alternative to conventional grid reinforcement?

The growing global electricity demand and the upcoming integration of charging options for electric vehicles is creating challenges for power grids, such as line over loading. With continuously falling costs for lithium-ion batteries, storage systems represent an alternative to conventional grid reinforcement.

Does a storage system reduce peak load?

It can be seen that the storage system reaches a reduction of the peak load at the associated node in all 32 simulations. In most of the cases no peak load reduction at the PCC can be reached. The reason for this behavior is that in these cases the peaks in the load profile have a longer duration and thus the energy content is the limiting factor.

Can a battery energy storage system improve electricity bill savings?

This paper proposes an operation strategy for battery energy storage systems, targeted at industrial consumers to achieve both an improvement in the distribution grid and electricity bill savings for the industrial consumer.

Why is energy storage technology important?

The development of energy storage technology plays a significant role in solving the challenge of consuming renewable energy generation. The HESS combining different technologies can complement each other's characteristics to suppress the power fluctuation of wind and solar power generation, shave peaks, and fill valleys.
