[PDF Version]The main contributions of this work are described as follows: A peak shaving and frequency regulation coordinated output strategy based on the existing energy storage participating is proposed to improve the economic problem of energy storage development and increase the economic benefits of energy storage on the industrial park.
By solving the economic optimal model of peak shaving and frequency regulation coordinated output a day ahead, the division of peak shaving and frequency regulation capacity of energy storage is obtained, and a real-time output strategy of energy storage is obtained by MPC intra-day rolling optimization.
According to the capacity planning model of peak shaving and frequency regulation and the parameters given above, an energy storage battery with a maximum power of 1 MW and capacity of 1 MW·h was used to carry out the day-ahead peak shaving and frequency regulation planning on the user side. The obtained results are E1 = 0.8 MW·h and E2 = 0.2 MW·h.
In this paper, we propose a joint optimization framework for peak shaving and frequency regulation under a Time of Use pricing, taking into account battery degradation, to increase the economic benefits in the Microgrid. The paper evaluates the proposed approach using a fast regulation signal from a standard Energy market.
Because the time steps of peak shaving and frequency regulation are different, peak shaving needs to optimize the electricity price and load demand of the whole day as a reference, so the optimization step is hour level, while the step size of Reg_D signal is 2 s, which is too different from the peak shaving time step.
However, the demand for ES capacity to enhance the peak shaving and frequency regulation capability of power systems with high penetration of RE has not been clarified at present. In this context, this study provides an approach to analyzing the ES demand capacity for peak shaving and frequency regulation.
