Economic analysis of energy storage power station applied to distribution network

Power grids are increasing the volume of renewable energy generation from unpredictable sources such as solar and wind. As a consequence, the problem of increasing peak-to-valley load difference and the difficulty of renewable energy consumption is becoming more and more obvious. Energy storage power stations are an effective means to solve such problems. With the development of energy storage technology and the decline of energy storage costs, the economic benefits of energy storage power station construction in the distribution network have become increasingly significant. On the basis of the economic benefits of traditional energy storage systems, this paper establishes a life-cycle cost model for energy storage power plants, and considers the benefits of energy storage power plants on the side of new energy power plants. Finally, through the example analysis, it is concluded that the energy storage power station on the distribution network side has economic benefits without government subsidies.
