Considering Approaches to Enhancing Power System Flexibility Through Distributed Energy Storage

In pursuit of the goal of reducing the wastage of renewable energy resources and enhancing the flexibility of the power system, this paper introduces a coordinated optimization scheduling strategy, incorporating distributed energy storage systems as a key component. This strategy comprehensively considers the real-time supply and demand dynamics of the power system, the energy storage status of distributed energy storage stations, and the generation forecasts of renewable energy. Based on these factors, a scheduling model for distributed energy storage systems is constructed. In the proposed scheduling strategy, optimize the allocation of energy resources to meet power demand by utilizing the operational costs of generating units, energy storage station operations, and load as objective functions. The primary aim of the model is to enhance power system flexibility through peak-shifting of renewable energy generation. To validate the effectiveness of the model, utilized MATLAB for its solution and, through practical case studies, verified the model's performance. The case study results demonstrate that the proposed distributed energy storage system strategy effectively reduces wind curtailment rates while simultaneously enhancing the flexibility of power system scheduling.
