Energy storage connector bidding

Can battery energy storage be a joint bidding strategy?

To ensure the flexible operations of the power system, it is necessary to explore the potential flexibility regulation capacity and further promote the accommodation of the renewable energy. Under this context, a joint bidding strategy for battery energy storage in the regulation and energy electricity market is proposed in this paper.

How is the bidding strategy implemented?

The bidding strategy is implemented on the real-time price signals of Fig. 4 (the average of ten MCS) and is tabulated in Table 2. In this table, the two-level bids (one for energy and one for FRP) when the FRU or FRD prices are greater than 0.5$/MWh are demonstrated.

What is the bidding strategy of ESS based on energy and FRP price signals?

The bidding strategy of ESS based on energy and FRP price signals in order to maximise its profitability is described in Section 4. The case study and numerical results are investigated in Section 5 and eventually, the concluding remarks are presented in Section 6.

What is the proposed bidding mechanism for energy trades and FRP?

The proposed mechanism is a two-level bidding action that the ESS should submit: one for energy trades and the other for FRP. The proposed solution is simulated on the IEEE 118-bus test system and MCS is performed to attain the expected real-time realised position.

When should a bid be greater than the energy capacity?

According to Fig. 3, the bid should be greater than with the energy capacity equal to in order to approach an optimal energy purchase. The FRU will be enabled if the ESS submits a bid with power level equal to the desired FRU value and a price between and .

Do energy storage systems have a high ramping capability?

Energy storage systems (ESSs) with high ramping capability can leverage their profitability when properly participating in this market. This study introduces a stochastic optimisation framework for participation of ESSs in the FRP market.
