What is cloud energy storage?

Cloud energy storage (CES) in the power systems is a novel idea for the consumers to get rid of the expensive distributed energy storages (DESs) and to move to using a cloud service centre as a virtual capacity.

Can cloud energy storage reduce operating costs?

Therefore, the optimal allocation of small energy storage resources and the reduction of operating costs are urgent problems to be solved. In this study, the author introduced the concept of cloud energy storage and proposed a system architecture and operational model based on the deployment characteristics of user-side energy storage devices.

Can cloud energy storage be commercialized?

The system architecture and operation mode of cloud energy storage proposed based on the characteristics of user-side distributed energy storage have laid the foundation for the commercialization of cloud energy storage.

Does sharing energy-storage station improve economic scheduling of industrial customers?

Li, L. et al. Optimal economic scheduling of industrial customers on the basis of sharing energy-storage station. Electric Power Construct. 41 (5), 100–107 (2020). Nikoobakht, A. et al. Assessing increased flexibility of energy storage and demand response to accommodate a high penetration of renewable energy sources. IEEE Trans. Sustain.

What is multi-energy energy storage (CES)?

Based on this data, the equivalent energy storage capacity of the thermal power system of Beijing, China, can reach about 18 GWh. Different from the traditional CES technology based solely on electric energy storage, multi-energy CES focuses on the sharing of energy storage resources in multiple forms of energy.

What is aggregated reuse of multiple energy storage?

The first part is called “aggregated reuse of multiple energy storage”, which refers to the aggregation of various types of energy storage resources for shared use. This part focuses on the “cloud” characteristic of energy resources and forms an energy storage resource pool which can be referred to as the energy storage “cloud”.
