Is nicosia s peak-valley electricity price policy good for energy storage

How much does electricity cost in a valley?

Table 1 shows the peak-valley electricity price data of the region. The valley electricity price is 0.0399 $/kWh, the flat electricity price is 0.1317 $/kWh, and the peak electricity price is 0.1587 $/kWh. The operation cycles (charging-discharging) of the Li-ion battery is about 5000–6000.

Should residential Peak-Valley pricing policies be optimized?

In order to deal with the rapid growth in residential electricity consumption, residential peak-valley pricing (PVP) policies have been implemented in 12 provinces in China.

Does a PvP policy reduce peak power usage?

An electricity demand model based on household characteristic is presented. The peak-shaving effect of the current PVP policy in 11 provinces is less than 3%. Optimized PVP can significantly reduce peak power usage and increase benefits. The PVP policy needs to be optimized from the price and time period division.
