Fig. 1. Integration strategy. Combined with the strategy diagram, PV power plants are able to engage in both medium to long-term trading and spot trading with the grid side while also realizing energy storage interactions with energy storage power plants, while energy storage power plants focus on energy arbitrage and frequency regulation markets.
The construction process of energy storage power stations involves multiple key stages, each of which requires careful planning and execution to ensure smooth implementation.
However, due to constraints such as power limits, capacity limits, and self-discharge rates, the energy storage power station cannot operate continuously but rather engages in charging and discharging activities at optimal times.
Energy storage plants are theoretically capable of adopting a variety of business models, such as participating in energy arbitrage and frequency regulation markets, providing backup services in grids with intermittent energy sources, and offering shared services in different time periods.
Additionally, the energy storage system is primarily utilized to optimize the plant’s internal operations without providing storage services to external entities. Based on these assumptions, the plant independently determines the scale of the energy storage system and its dispatch strategy.
