What devices are needed for user-side energy storage

What is a user-side small energy storage device?

With the new round of power system reform, energy storage, as a part of power system frequency regulation and peaking, is an indispensable part of the reform. Among them, user-side small energy storage devices have the advantages of small size, flexible use and convenient application, but present decentralized characteristics in space.

How do small energy storage devices work?

Small energy storage devices sell electricity to the distribution network during peak periods and purchase electricity from the distribution network during low periods. Using the difference between peak and valley electricity prices can maximize economic benefits and reduce energy costs.

What is user-side energy storage?

The user-side energy storage, predominantly represented by electrochemical energy storage, has been widely utilized due to its capacity to facilitate renewable energy integration and participate in capacity markets as a responsive resource [4, 5].

Are energy storage configuration recommendations practical for commercial and industrial users?

By comparing and analyzing the economic benefits for different types of users after installing energy storage, this study aims to provide practical energy storage configuration recommendations for commercial and industrial users. The optimal energy storage configuration results are shown in Table 7. Table 7.
