The user-side distributed energy storage will keep part of the stored power for self-use. At the same time, they will sell the remaining idle power to energy storage operators through the cloud energy storage service platform to earn additional revenue.
User-side shared energy storage is composed of interconnection and mutual benefit of adjacent energy storage devices in the same area, so the power loss in the power interaction process can be ignored 17.
However, the disorderly management mode of user-side energy storage not only causes a waste of resources, but also brings hidden dangers to the safe operation of the power grid, such as stability, scheduling and operation, power quality and other problems.
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.
However, the development of sharing economy in recent years has promoted the generation of shared energy storage, which not only smooths out the fluctuation of renewable energy but also is widely used in power system peak and frequency regulation, providing a reliable guarantee for power system supply and demand balance.
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.
The global residential solar storage and inverter market is experiencing rapid expansion, with demand increasing by over 300% in the past three years. Home energy storage solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new residential solar installations worldwide. North America leads with 38% market share, driven by homeowner energy independence goals and federal tax credits that reduce total system costs by 26-30%. Europe follows with 32% market share, where standardized home storage designs have cut installation timelines by 55% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 18% annually.
