Design of solar container energy storage system for peak load regulation

Can deep peak regulation and source-load-storage interaction help manage grid peak demand?

This study introduces an optimized configuration approach of ESS considering deep peak regulation and source-load-storage interaction to overcome the challenges of integrating renewable energy and managing grid peak demand.

How do energy storage systems work?

In contrast, energy storage systems (ESS) provide an effective means to convert surplus renewable energy into stored chemical energy. This stored energy can serve multiple functions, including peak regulation and balancing peak and valley loads, helping to smooth out fluctuations in renewable energy power generation [, ].

What is the peak load demand of a solar system?

It can be observed from Fig. 4 that the peak load demand of the system is 1500 MW at 12th hour. The next subsequent peak of 1400 MW is observed at 20th hour of the next day. In this case study, load uncertainty is introduced on the maximum side, with the upper bound established as mentioned in Eq. (18), in the absence of PV-ES.

Do PV storage systems mitigate peak loads?

The results indicate that PV storage systems effectively mitigate system peak loads, thereby enabling conventional generators to fulfill the requisite energy demand for DA UC while maintaining the minimum contingency margin and preventing overload.
