[PDF Version]At present, China's small capacity energy storage power stations cannot be allowed to compete for frequency regulation services, but the establishment of auxiliary service markets such as frequency regulation and standby is conducive to guiding investment to improve the flexibility of power systems [ 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 ].
The main contributions of this work are described as follows: A peak shaving and frequency regulation coordinated output strategy based on the existing energy storage participating is proposed to improve the economic problem of energy storage development and increase the economic benefits of energy storage on the industrial park.
Therefore, the energy storage power station is equipped with energy storage battery for peak shaving, which has limited savings on electricity charges. This is because if the energy storage output is small and the peak shaving is small, it has little impact on electricity charges.
Therefore, the economic benefits of user-side energy storage participating in frequency regulation can improve the economy of user equipped energy storage.
According to the capacity planning model of peak shaving and frequency regulation and the parameters given above, an energy storage battery with a maximum power of 1 MW and capacity of 1 MW·h was used to carry out the day-ahead peak shaving and frequency regulation planning on the user side. The obtained results are E1 = 0.8 MW·h and E2 = 0.2 MW·h.
