4 FAQs about Germany grid-side energy storage peak-valley arbitrage project

How do storage systems work in Germany?

Most storage systems in Germany are currently used together with residential PV plants to increase self-consumption and reduce costs. Inexpensive storage systems can be built using Second-Life-Batteries (Bundesnetzagentur für Elektrizität, Gas, Telekommunikation, Post und Eisenbahnen, 2020).

What is a Bess optimization model for electricity price arbitrage and reserve ancillary services?

Taking the maximum annual net revenues of the BESS as the optimization objective, an optimization model of the BESS considering both electricity price arbitrage and reserve ancillary services is established. The annual net revenues of the BESS under different BESS capacities are evaluated.

How does Bess generate revenue from electricity price arbitrage and reserve service?

It generates revenue though electricity price arbitrage and reserve service. The BESS's optimization model and the charging-discharging operation control strategy are established to make maximum revenue. The simulation study is based on one-year data of wind speed, irradiance, and electricity price in Hangzhou City (Zhejiang Province, China).

Does energy storage generate revenue?

Techno-economic analysis of energy storage with wind generation was analyzed. Revenue of energy storage includes energy arbitrage and ancillary services. The multi-objective genetic algorithm (GA) based on roulette method was employed. Both optimization capacity and operation strategy were simulated for maximum revenue.
