The significance of shared energy storage and user-side energy storage

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.

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".

What is energy storage and why is it important?

Energy storage (ES) plays a significant role in modern smart grids and energy systems. With the advances of ES technologies, efficiently applying ES to energy systems has become the bottleneck for achieving the benefits of ES.

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.

Can shared energy storage system improve user income?

A Shared energy storage system (SESS) has the potential in reducing investment costs, increasing the rate of renewable energy consumption, and facilitating users . In reference , the optimization algorithm of improving user income by optimizing the charging and discharging strategy of SESS is proposed.

What is a sharing economy (SES) energy storage system?

By incorporating the concept of the sharing economy into energy storage systems, SES has emerged as a new business model . Typically, large-scale SES stations with capacities of more than 100 MW are strategically located near renewable energy collection stations and are funded by one or more investors .
