The peak-valley arbitrage is that the energy storage system is used for storing electric energy in the valley period with lower electricity price, the stored electric energy is used in the peak period with high electricity price, and the direct large-scale use of high-price electric energy of a power grid is avoided, so that the electric power use cost can be reduced, and the peak-valley arbitrage is realized.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.
Is energy arbitrage profitability a sizing and scheduling Co-Optimisation model?It proposes a sizing and scheduling co-optimisation model to investigate the energy arbitrage profitability of such systems. The model is solved by an efficient heuristic algorithm coupled with mathematical programming.
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.
Is a retrofitted energy storage system profitable for Energy Arbitrage?Optimising the initial state of charge factor improves arbitrage profitability by 16 %. The retrofitting scheme is profitable when the peak-valley tariff gap is >114 USD/MWh. The retrofitted energy storage system is more cost-effective than batteries for energy arbitrage.
Are energy storage systems more cost-effective than batteries for Energy Arbitrage?The retrofitted energy storage system is more cost-effective than batteries for energy arbitrage. In the context of global decarbonisation, retrofitting existing coal-fired power plants (CFPPs) is an essential pathway to achieving sustainable transition of power systems.
