What is the role of shared independent energy storage

What is shared energy storage?

Shared energy storage is generally applied in the supply, network, and demand sides of power systems. The shared energy storage at the supply side is mainly utilized for renewable energy consumption ( Zhang et al., 2021 ). The proportion of renewable energy is greatly increasing due to the continuous promotion of "carbon peaking and neutrality".

Does energy storage play a significant role in smart grids and energy systems?

Abstract: Energy storage (ES) plays a significant role in modern smart grids and energy systems. To facilitate and improve the utilization of ES, appropriate system design and operational strategies should be adopted.

Are shared energy resources better than private energy storage?

We demonstrate the advantages of using shared as opposed to private energy storage. Distributed Energy Resources have been playing an increasingly important role in smart grids. Distributed Energy Resources consist primarily of energy generation and storage systems utilized by individual households or shared among them as a community.

What is a shared energy storage mode?

The shared energy storage mode can attract more capital to actively invest in the energy storage industry, accelerate the development of energy storage scale and maximize the efficiency of energy storage utilization. Transactive energy (TE) ( Yang et al., 2020 ): it is the application of sharing economy in the field of the electricity market.

How do shared energy storage operators interact with users?

The interaction between shared energy storage operators and users relies on the market structure of shared energy storage, including the sharing structure, trading products, and pricing mechanism. The sharing structure characterizes the investors and owners of energy storage resources and reveals the role of shared energy storage operators.

Why is energy storage size important?

Energy storage size plays an important role in the design and operation of shared energy storage. Appropriate storage size can reduce the investment cost of users while meeting their storage demand. In general, the capacity allocation of shared energy storage is closely related to users’ demands.
