The charge and discharge efficiency is 90%, and the maximum and minimum allowable power are 90% and 10% of the energy storage capacity, respectively. The daily load curve of the power system in which the energy storage station participates in the ancillary service is shown in Fig. 3.
In the 1–4 and 14–15 periods, the energy storage power station can be strategic charged to supplement the electricity consumed by its own discharge so that it can fully participate in the frequency modulation market and obtain the frequency modulation income.
The energy storage power station under the conventional strategy participates in the electric energy market transaction for a long time, and the quotation fluctuation is small except for the peak power consumption in the evening.
The Life Cycle Cost (LCC) of energy storage power station mainly includes investment cost Cinv and operation cost. The operation cost of energy storage generally includes operation and maintenance cost COM, scrap processing cost Cscr, power shortage penalty cost Cβ and power loss cost Cα. Therefore, the required energy storage LCC model CLCC is
According to the transaction framework, a two-layer transaction decision model of energy storage participating in electric energy market and frequency modulation market is constructed. The upper model is the energy storage power station transaction decision model, which is used to generate the optimal bidding strategy of each power station.
Building upon both strands of work, we propose to characterize business models of energy storage as the combination of an application of storage with the revenue stream earned from the operation and the market role of the investor.
