1. Peak-Valley Price Arbitrage Peak-valley electricity price differentials remain the core revenue driver for industrial energy storage systems. By charging during off-peak periods (low rates) and discharging during peak hours (high rates), businesses achieve direct cost savings. Key Considerations:
Energy arbitrage means that ESSs charge electricity during valley hours and discharge it during peak hours, thus making profits via the peak-valley electricity tariff gap [ 14 ]. Zafirakis et al. [ 15] explored the arbitrage value of long-term ESSs in various electricity markets.
Optimising the initial state of charge factor improves arbitrage profitability by 16 %. The retrofitting scheme is profitable when the peak-valley tariff gap is >114 USD/MWh. The retrofitted energy storage system is more cost-effective than batteries for energy arbitrage.
The retrofitted energy storage system is more cost-effective than batteries for energy arbitrage. In the context of global decarbonisation, retrofitting existing coal-fired power plants (CFPPs) is an essential pathway to achieving sustainable transition of power systems.
It proposes a sizing and scheduling co-optimisation model to investigate the energy arbitrage profitability of such systems. The model is solved by an efficient heuristic algorithm coupled with mathematical programming.
The scale of the energy storage system and operation strategy was related to the technical and economic performance of the coupling system , . In order to reduce the extra cost of the BESS, it is necessary to conduct the optimization research of the BESS and RE coupling system .
