Among the four groups of electricity prices, the peak electricity price and flat electricity price are gradually reduced, the valley electricity price is the same, and the peak-valley electricity price difference is 0.1203 $/kWh, 0.1188 $/kWh, 0.1173 $/kWh and 0.1158 $/kWh respectively. Table 5. Four groups of peak-valley electricity prices.
Table 1 shows the peak-valley electricity price data of the region. The valley electricity price is 0.0399 $/kWh, the flat electricity price is 0.1317 $/kWh, and the peak electricity price is 0.1587 $/kWh. The operation cycles (charging-discharging) of the Li-ion battery is about 5000–6000.
On the one hand, the battery energy storage system (BESS) is charged at the low electricity price and discharged at the peak electricity price, and the revenue is obtained through the peak-valley electricity price difference. On the other hand, extra revenue is obtained by providing reserve ancillary services to the power grid.
When the electricity price was high, the ESS discharged to the power grid, and the ESS obtained income through the price difference of energy storage and release. Dufo-López R. based on the Spanish electricity market to optimize the size and control of a grid-connected private ESS.
Energy storage is an effective way to facilitate renewable energy (RE) development. Its technical performance and economic performance are key factors for large scale applications. As battery energy storage system (BESS) is one commercially-developed energy storage technology at present, BESS is utilized to connect to RE generation.
Energy storage can participate in peaking shaving and ancillary services. It generates revenue though electricity price arbitrage and reserve service. The BESS's optimization model and the charging-discharging operation control strategy are established to make maximum revenue.
