The output of intermittent power sources such as wind and solar energy is highly uncertain and fluctuating, significantly impacting the stable operation of power systems. To address these challenges, energy storage technology has gained widespread attention as a flexible and efficient solution. Energy storage systems can not only smooth the output of renewable energy but also participate in peak shaving and frequency regulation of power systems, improving operational efficiency and reliability. Therefore, research on energy storage peak shaving and frequency regulation models in power systems holds significant theoretical and engineering application value.
This article will delve into the construction and optimization of energy storage peak shaving and frequency regulation models, covering the basic principles of the models, modeling methods, optimization strategies, and application cases, aiming to provide theoretical guidance and technical support for the application of energy storage technology in power systems.
1. Application Value of Energy Storage Technology in Power Systems
Energy storage technology refers to the technology of storing electrical energy in some form and releasing it when needed. Based on the form of energy storage, energy storage technology can be divided into various types, including physical storage (such as pumped storage, compressed air energy storage, flywheel energy storage, etc.), chemical storage (such as battery storage, flow battery storage, etc.), and electromagnetic storage (such as superconducting storage, supercapacitor storage, etc.). Different types of energy storage technologies have different characteristics and are suitable for different application scenarios.
The application value of energy storage technology in power systems is reflected in the following aspects:
- Peak Shaving: Energy storage systems can store electrical energy during low demand periods and release it during peak demand periods, thereby reducing the peak-to-valley difference, improving the utilization of power equipment, and lowering generation costs.
- Smoothing Renewable Energy Output: Energy storage systems can smooth the output fluctuations of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power, increasing the utilization of renewable energy and reducing dependence on traditional energy sources.
- Frequency Regulation: Energy storage systems can quickly respond to frequency changes in the power system, providing frequency regulation services to maintain frequency stability and improve the reliability of the power system.
- Voltage Support: Energy storage systems can provide voltage support for the power system, improving the voltage quality of the grid and enhancing supply reliability.
- Isolated Operation: In the event of a grid failure, energy storage systems can provide backup power to support the isolated operation of critical loads, ensuring continuity of supply.
2. Construction of Energy Storage Peak Shaving Models
The construction of energy storage peak shaving models mainly revolves around optimizing the charging and discharging strategies of energy storage systems to achieve objectives such as minimizing the peak-to-valley difference or minimizing generation costs. Key factors to consider in constructing energy storage peak shaving models include:
- Grid Load Characteristics: The grid load is the basis for energy storage peak shaving, requiring accurate prediction of the load curve, including the timing of peak and valley occurrences and the magnitude of the peak-to-valley difference.
- Energy Storage System Characteristics: Parameters such as capacity, charging and discharging power, charging and discharging efficiency, and cycle life of the energy storage system will affect the peak shaving effect, necessitating a detailed understanding of the system’s characteristics.
- Power System Constraints: The operation of the power system must meet certain constraints, such as voltage constraints, current constraints, and power balance constraints; the peak shaving strategy must satisfy these constraints.
- Economic Evaluation: The ultimate goal of energy storage peak shaving is to reduce the operating costs of the power system, requiring an assessment of the economic benefits of peak shaving, including investment costs, operational maintenance costs, and electricity revenue.
Commonly used energy storage peak shaving models include:
- Linear Programming Model: Transforms the energy storage peak shaving problem into a linear programming problem, using linear programming algorithms to solve for the optimal charging and discharging strategy.
- Mixed Integer Programming Model: Transforms the energy storage peak shaving problem into a mixed integer programming problem, capable of handling more complex constraints, such as the start-stop constraints of the energy storage system.
- Dynamic Programming Model: Utilizes dynamic programming algorithms to solve for the optimal charging and discharging strategy, capable of handling time-varying grid loads and energy storage system characteristics.
These models can be selected and improved based on specific application scenarios. For example, when considering grid security constraints, coupling AC power flow models with energy storage peak shaving models can ensure that the operation of energy storage systems does not affect the stability of the grid.
3. Construction of Energy Storage Frequency Regulation Models
The construction of energy storage frequency regulation models mainly focuses on how to utilize the rapid response capability of energy storage systems to quickly suppress frequency fluctuations in the power system and maintain frequency stability. Key factors to consider in constructing energy storage frequency regulation models include:
- Power System Inertia: The inertia of the power system is its ability to resist frequency changes; the greater the inertia, the slower the frequency change.
- Frequency Response Requirements: The power system has strict requirements for frequency response, including frequency stability time and frequency deviation range.
- Energy Storage System Response Speed: The faster the response speed of the energy storage system, the better the frequency regulation effect.
- Control Strategy: The frequency regulation control strategy of the energy storage system needs to be adjusted based on the magnitude and rate of change of frequency deviation.
Commonly used energy storage frequency regulation models include:
- Droop Control: Controls based on the linear relationship between frequency deviation and energy storage system power output to achieve frequency regulation.
- Virtual Inertia Control: Simulates the inertia of traditional generators to enhance the disturbance resistance of the power system.
- Optimal Control: Designs frequency regulation controllers for energy storage systems using optimal control theory to achieve optimal frequency response.
- Adaptive Control: Adapts the frequency regulation parameters of the energy storage system based on the operating state of the power system to improve the robustness of the controller.
To enhance the frequency regulation performance of energy storage systems, various control strategies can be combined, such as integrating droop control with virtual inertia control to fully utilize the rapid response capability and simulated inertia of energy storage systems.
4. Optimization Strategies for Energy Storage Peak Shaving and Frequency Regulation Models
To improve the performance of energy storage peak shaving and frequency regulation models, effective optimization strategies must be employed. Common optimization strategies include:

- Rolling Optimization: Decomposes the optimization problem into multiple time periods, optimizing within each time period and adjusting the optimization results based on actual conditions.
- Robust Optimization: Considers the impact of uncertainties on optimization results, designing robust peak shaving and frequency regulation strategies to ensure performance requirements are met under various operating conditions.
- Model Predictive Control: Utilizes model predictive control algorithms to adjust the operating state of energy storage systems in advance based on predictions of grid load and renewable energy output over a future period, improving peak shaving and frequency regulation effects.
5. Application Cases of Energy Storage Peak Shaving and Frequency Regulation Models
Energy storage peak shaving and frequency regulation models have been applied in multiple power systems, achieving significant results. For example:
