Composition of the energy storage cloud platform

What is cloud energy storage?

Cloud energy storage (CES) in the power systems is a novel idea for the consumers to get rid of the expensive distributed energy storages (DESs) and to move to using a cloud service centre as a virtual capacity.

What is an energy platform?

The energy platform is made of three key components: the energy cloud for the generation, distribution and storage of electricity, the digital platform for industry and customers to jointly manage the energy infrastructure, and the transaction platform for trading and services.

What is cloud energy storage (CES)?

Based on the combination of sharing economy and electric energy storage technology, Kang et al. proposed the concept of Cloud Energy Storage (CES) in 2017 .

Is a heterogeneous cloud energy storage system economically feasible?

The economic feasibility of a heterogeneous cloud energy storage (HCES) system is investigated in [ 44 ]. The HCES uses four types of batteries known as Lead-acid, Lithium-ion, Sodium Sulphur, and Redox flow technologies.

What is flexible generation capacity & storage?

Flexible generation capacity and storage are elements of the energy transition and the continued expansion of intermittent renewable energy (RE) as they offer unparalleled flexibility to optimally deliver energy and ancillary services.

What energy storage resources will be available for CES?

In the future, with the accelerated development of the Energy Internet, the energy storage resources participating in the CES will be abundant. Equivalent energy storage provided by multi-energy sectors and VESS resources based on flexible load management will further enrich available energy storage resources for CES.
