To ensure that the load curve tracks the changes in the new energy curve, smooths the net load curve, and reduces the power fluctuation of conventional generator sets, a few researchers have studied the use of energy storage or adjustable load to smooth the net load curve.
The efficient utilization of the regulation capability of controllable industrial loads and energy storage can achieve the similarity between renewable energy curves and load curves, thereby reducing the peak-to-valley difference and volatility of the net load. This approach also decreases the adjustment pressure on conventional generating units.
Through the invocation of adjustable resources according to the scheduling strategy discussed in this paper, the optimized load curve is highly similar to the new energy output curve in terms of shape and time sequence, stabilizing the optimized net load curve. The net load power demand is supplied by the conventional units, as shown in Figure 2.
Thus, load increase is carried out by utilizing the regulation capacity of energy storage and industrial loads during these hours. The new energy output is insufficient during 6:00–9:00 and 22:00–24:00. At 12:00, load reduction is carried out using the regulation capacity of energy storage and industrial loads during these hours.
Sometimes energy storage is co-located with, or placed next to, a solar energy system, and sometimes the storage system stands alone, but in either configuration, it can help more effectively integrate solar into the energy landscape. What Is Energy Storage?
