This paper proposes an option game model that is applicable to multi-agent cooperation investment in energy storage projects. A power grid enterprise and power generation enterprise are assumed to act.
By leveraging the spatiotemporal complementarities of storage demands, the approach improves system performance and output tracking. A cooperative investment model accommodates various energy storage technologies, reducing costs and enhancing efficiency.
In the energy cooperation-based storage sharing strategy, all participants aim to maximize the overall benefits of the alliance, building on energy trading to overcome the limitations of the previous two sharing models.
Current research on shared energy storage operational strategies focuses on three main areas: capacity allocation [14, 15], energy trading [16, 17], and storage sharing based on energy cooperation . Under the capacity allocation strategy, consumers are limited to using only the storage capacity assigned to them.
A cooperative investment model accommodates various energy storage technologies, reducing costs and enhancing efficiency. Case studies show the model strengthens station alliances, optimizes energy storage, and offers a cost-effective solution for renewable energy integration and increased hydrogen production profitability.
Additionally, a cooperative alliance model between Community Energy Storage and Photovoltaic Charging Station is established, leveraging Nash bargaining theory to decompose the game into cost minimization and benefit distribution sub-problems and used the ADMM algorithm for distributed solving.
However, due to the absence of supporting policies for this function, the current utilization efficiency of energy storage is low. The shared model proposed in this paper can significantly improve the utilization efficiency and economic benefits of energy storage.
Optimizing peak-shaving and valley-filling (PS-VF) operation of a pumped-storage power (PSP) station has far-reaching influences on the synergies of hydropower output, power benefit, and carbon di.
The models for optimizing the schedule of hybrid energy systems incorporating pumped storage power plants are developed therein. In (Zhang et al., 2020), the authors have considered the integration of wind, photovoltaic, hydropower, thermal power, and other energy sources at a system level for the purpose of optimization their scheduling.
In (Wang and Cui, 2014), the authors have investigated the optimal operation of pumped storage power plants in the context of photovoltaic integrations. In (Baniasad and Ameri, 2012), the authors have proposed a joint operation strategy for wind, photovoltaic and pumped storage hydro energy, taking into account the multiple performance benefits.
In this direction, a bi-level programming model for the optimal capacity configuration of wind, photovoltaic, hydropower, and pumped storage power system is derived. To model the operating mode of a pumped storage power station, two 0-1 variables are introduced.
The photovoltaic installed capacity set in the figure is 2395kW. When the energy storage capacity is 1174kW h, the user's annual expenditure is the smallest and the economic benefit is the best. Fig. 4. The impact of energy storage capacity on annual expenditures.
This paper considers the annual comprehensive cost of the user to install the photovoltaic energy storage system and the user's daily electricity bill to establish a bi-level optimization model. The outer model optimizes the photovoltaic & energy storage capacity, and the inner model optimizes the operation strategy of the energy storage.
When the electricity price is relatively high and the photovoltaic output does not meet the user's load requirements, the energy storage releases the stored electricity to reduce the user's electricity purchase costs.
Stationary energy storage technologies broadly fall into three categories: electro-chemical storage, namely batteries, fuel cells and hydrogen storage; electro-mechanical storage, such as compressed air storage, flywheel storage and gravitational storage; and thermal storage, including sensible, latent and thermochemical storage.
Energy storage solutions for electricity generation include pumped-hydro storage, batteries, flywheels, compressed-air energy storage, hydrogen storage and thermal energy storage components. The ability to store energy can facilitate the integration of clean energy and renewable energy into power grids and real-world, everyday use.
Energy storage systems allow energy consumption to be separated in time from the production of energy, whether it be electrical or thermal energy. The storing of electricity typically occurs in chemical (e.g., lead acid batteries or lithium-ion batteries, to name just two of the best known) or mechanical means (e.g., pumped hydro storage).
A battery energy storage system (BESS) is an electrochemical storage system that allows electricity to be stored as chemical energy and released when it is needed. Common types include lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries, while newer technologies include solid-state or flow batteries.
The use of ESS is crucial for improving system stability, boosting penetration of renewable energy, and conserving energy. Electricity storage systems (ESSs) come in a variety of forms, such as mechanical, chemical, electrical, and electrochemical ones.
The so-called battery “charges” when power is used to pump water from a lower reservoir to a higher reservoir. The energy storage system “discharges” power when water, pulled by gravity, is released back to the lower-elevation reservoir and passes through a turbine along the way.
Battery, flywheel energy storage, super capacitor, and superconducting magnetic energy storage are technically feasible for use in distribution networks. With an energy density of 620 kWh/m3, Li-ion batteries appear to be highly capable technologies for enhanced energy storage implementation in the built environment.
Photovoltaic (PV) has been extensively applied in buildings, adding a battery to building attached photovoltaic (BAPV) system can compensate for the fluctuating and unpredictable features of PV power generati.
Therefore, 5G macro and micro base stations use intelligent photovoltaic storage systems to form a source-load-storage integrated microgrid, which is an effective solution to the energy consumption problem of 5G base stations and promotes energy transformation.
On the other hand, considering the energy use, the concept of a green base station system is proposed, which uses renewable energy or hybrid power to provide energy for the base station system, allowing energy flow between base stations and smart grid, , , .
When the base station operator does not invest in the deployment of photovoltaics, the cost comes from the investment in backup energy storage, operation and maintenance, and load power consumption. Energy storage does not participate in grid interaction, and there is no peak-shaving or valley-filling effect.
Base station operators deploy a large number of distributed photovoltaics to solve the problems of high energy consumption and high electricity costs of 5G base stations.
The photovoltaic storage system is introduced into the ultra-dense heterogeneous network of 5G base stations composed of macro and micro base stations to form the micro network structure of 5G base stations .
Access to the 5G base station microgrid photovoltaic storage system based on the energy sharing strategy has a significant effect on improving the utilization rate of the photovoltaics and improving the local digestion of photovoltaic power. The case study presented in this paper was considered the base stations belonging to the same operator.

In this paper, a wind-solar combined power generation system is proposed in order to solve the absorption problem of new energy power generation. Based on the existing installed capacity of local wind power.
The above research on combined power generation systems only stays in dispatch optimization and configuration of energy storage capacity, and does not optimize the capacity configuration of other power sources in the power generation system, nor does it consider the fluctuation of the power grid caused by load uncertainty.
To sum up, in the face of problems such as large abandoned air volume and uncertain output of traditional wind farms, there are two solutions commonly adopted by researchers. One method is to equip energy storage system on the basis of traditional wind power generation system, and build a combined operation mode of wind storage.
According to the fluctuation of wind power, the operation of the heat storage system is adjusted. When the wind power fluctuates greatly, the CSP station can use its heat storage system to convert excess electric energy into heat energy for storage.
The introduction of CSP power stations in wind power generation means to improve the absorption capacity of wind power generation by means of energy complementarity and balance the output fluctuations of the system.
To overcome these challenges, battery energy storage systems (BESS) have become important means to complement wind and solar power generation and enhance the stability of the power system.
Most of the research on the multi-energy complementary system with solar thermal power station only stays on the configuration and optimization of energy storage capacity, but does not configure other power capacity according to the actual situation. In terms of model solving, many studies have adopted metaheuristics.

Battery energy storage systems are generally designed to be able to output at their full rated power for several hours. Battery storage can be used for short-term peak power and ancillary services, such as providing operating reserve and frequency control to minimize the chance of power outages.
Battery storage power plants and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) are comparable in technology and function. However, battery storage power plants are larger. For safety and security, the actual batteries are housed in their own structures, like warehouses or containers.
The most natural users of Battery Energy Storage Systems are electricity companies with wind and solar power plants. In this case, the BESS are typically large: they are either built near major nodes in the transmission grid, or else they are installed directly at power generation plants.

Secondly, to minimize the investment and annual operational and maintenance costs of the photovoltaic–energy storage system, an optimal capacity allocation model for photovoltaic and storage is established, which serves as the foundation for the two-layer operation optimization model.
Economic benefit increases by 15.67 % and carbon emission reduces by 37.14 %. The implementation of an optimal power scheduling strategy is vital for the optimal design of the integrated electric vehicle (EV) charging station with photovoltaic (PV) and battery energy storage system (BESS).
It is a rational decision for users to plan their capacity and adjust their power consumption strategy to improve their revenue by installing PV–energy storage systems. PV power generation systems typically exhibit two operational modes: grid-connected and off-grid .
This method ignores the difference in the PV power generation capabilities and time-of-use electricity price at different times, which might result in suboptimal scheduling results for the integrated charging station.
The optimal configuration capacity of photovoltaic and energy storage depends on several factors such as time-of-use electricity price, consumer demand for electricity, cost of photovoltaic and energy storage, and the local annual solar radiation.
