Requirements for the construction of energy storage system cloud platform

What is cloud energy storage?

Cloud energy storage (CES) in the power systems is a novel idea for the consumers to get rid of the expensive distributed energy storages (DESs) and to move to using a cloud service centre as a virtual capacity.

What are the application requirements for energy storage?

The energy storage application requirements of them are generally similar and relatively simple. For the users who do not have distributed renewable power sources, the demand for energy storage mainly reflects as the adjustment of their load profile to reduce electricity costs in response to peak and valley electricity prices.

What is a typical application scenario of energy storage on the grid?

Another typical application scenario of energy storage on the grid side is the emergency power support for the system such as emergency reserve. Considering that the provision of grid-side CES services relies on solid grid infrastructure, the failure of the grid may cause the cascading failure of CES.

Is energy storage system a viable solution for high-proportion renewable power integration?

Energy Storage System (ESS) has flexible bidirectional power regulation capabilities and has provided an effective means to address the challenges of high-proportion renewable power integration. However, hindered by many factors, the large-scale development and application of ESS still face many bottlenecks.

What is cloud energy storage (CES)?

Based on the combination of sharing economy and electric energy storage technology, Kang et al. proposed the concept of Cloud Energy Storage (CES) in 2017 .

What is an energy platform?

The energy platform is made of three key components: the energy cloud for the generation, distribution and storage of electricity, the digital platform for industry and customers to jointly manage the energy infrastructure, and the transaction platform for trading and services.
