Multi-Scenario Progressive Planning Optimization of Shared Energy Storage Under Dual-Carbon Goals by ZHANG Ting, MA Yuze, WU Yunna

“…Therefore，based on a comprehensive analysis of the physical characteristics，operation characterization function，and cost-benefit model of typical flexibility-regulation resources of new power systems，this study performs a characteristic analysis of system flexibility-regulation demand as guidance and aims to maximize the social welfare of flexibility regulation. The operation strategy and progressive planning-optimization model for six scenarios of lithium battery-supercapacitor shared energy-storage system under the coordination of multiple flexible-regulation resources，such as smoothing fluctuations，peaking and valley filling，alleviating transmission and distribution circuit congestion and delaying grid upgrading，reducing wind and power rejection，achieving supply-and-demand balance，and reducing load cutting，are proposed. …”
