Three methods of peak load regulation with energy storage

What is a peak load regulation model?

A corresponding peak load regulation model is proposed. On the generation side, studies on peak load regulation mainly focus on new construction, for example, pumped-hydro energy storage stations, gas-fired power units, and energy storage facilities .

What is power system peak load regulation?

The power system peak load regulation is conducted by adjusting the output power and operating states of the power generating units in both peak and off-peak hours.

What is the optimal scheduling model for power system peak load regulation?

Conclusion This paper presented an optimal scheduling model for power system peak load regulation considering the short-time startup and shutdown operations of a thermal power unit. As the main resource on the generation side, the intrinsic capacity of the thermal units in the system peak load regulation was studied in this paper.

Can thermal units be used in peak load regulation?

The proposed method was verified in a real prefecture-level urban power system in southwest China, and its modified test systems. The case studies demonstrated the intrinsic capacity of the thermal units in the system peak load regulation.

What are the different types of peak load regulation modes?

For thermal power units, the main types of operation modes for peak load regulation are the basic (free) peak load regulation mode, the deeper peak load regulation mode, the short-time startup and shutdown regulation mode (e.g. two-shift operation), and the turbine idling regulation mode.

What is peak-regulation capability of a power grid?

Principle of the evaluation method The peak-regulation capability of a power grid refers to the ability of power supply balancing with power load, especially in the peak load and valley load periods. Specifically, the adjustment range of power supply in one day should be high enough to reach the peak load and low enough to reach the valley load.
