Energy Storage Investment and Operation in Efficient Electric Power Systems
研究了在完全预见下、具有多种发电和储能技术的电力系统中,社会福利最优的储能投资与运营策略,并通过模拟得出了储能运营无简单排序规则、资本成本是关键因素等结论。
We consider welfare-optimal investment in and operation of electric power systems with constant returns to scale in multiple available generation and storage technologies under perfect foresight. We extend a number of classic results on generation, derive conditions for investment and operations of storage technologies described by seven cost/performance parameters, and develop insights on power systems with multiple storage technologies. Simulation of a deeply decarbonized “Texas-like” power system with two available storage technologies shows both the non-existence of simple “merit-order” rules for storage operation and the value of frequency domain analysis to describe efficient operation. Our analysis points to the critical role of the capital cost of energy storage capacity in influencing efficient storage investment and operation.
