What is Peak-Valley arbitrage?

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.

Can energy storage systems generate arbitrage?

Conclusion Due to the increased daily electricity price variations caused by the peak and off-peak demands, energy storage systems can be utilized to generate arbitrage by charging the plants during low price periods and discharging them during high price periods.

How does energy arbitrage affect energy prices?

The growing penetration of renewable generation has increased the volatility of energy prices, especially in the real-time market. Energy storage owners collect revenues from this price variation by performing energy arbitrage. This paper develops a framework to determine the value of energy arbitrage in the real-time and day-ahead markets.

How do energy storage owners collect revenue from energy price volatility?

Abstract: The growing penetration of renewable generation has increased the volatility of energy prices, especially in the real-time market. Energy storage owners collect revenues from this price variation by performing energy arbitrage.

What is the maximum daily revenue through arbitrage?

Maximum daily revenue through arbitrage varies with roundtrip efficiency. Revenue of arbitrage is compared to cost of energy for various storage technologies. Breakeven cost of storage is firstly calculated with different loan periods. The time-varying mismatch between electricity supply and demand is a growing challenge for the electricity market.

How does reserve capacity affect peak-valley arbitrage income?

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.
