Distributed energy storage is a solution for increasing self-consumption of variable renewable energy such as solar and wind energy at the end user site. Small-scale energy storage systems can be centrally coordinated by "aggregation" to offer different services to the grid, such as operational flexibility and peak shaving.
The impact of centralized coordination of storage resources on the consumer's annual electricity costs generally increases with the level of variable renewable generation capacity in the electricity system while inversely related to level of flexible supply capacity.
The centralized generation has also lower flexibility to failures, than the distributed one. As if a relevant fault occurs in the plant, a big portion of the generation power could be turned off, with relevant impacts in the dispatching and with possible power interruptions for several final users. An Overview of Distributed Vs.
Under centralized scheduling of the consumer’s energy technologies in the electricity system, the typical electricity consumer gains substantially larger annual savings compared with the decentralized scheduling. This is valid for all combinations of technologies, tariffs and future energy scenarios.
