Time-of-use Pricing for Energy Storage Investment Abstract—Time-of-use (ToU) pricing is widely used by the electricity utility to shave peak load. Such a pricing scheme provides users with incentives to invest in behind-the-meter energy storage and to shift peak load towards low-price intervals.
To achieve this, an optimization model is constructed with the objective of minimizing average electricity costs under the prevailing time-of-use pricing policy. The comprehensive evaluation metrics is built using specific CO 2 emissions, average electricity cost, dynamic capital payback period, and energy self-sufficiency rate.
Sun et al. analyzes the benefits for photovoltaic-energy storage-charging station (PV-ES-CS), showing that locations with high nighttime electricity loads and daytime consumption matching PV generation, such as hospitals, maximize benefits, while residential areas have the lowest.
This article studies the allocation of energy storage capacity considering electricity prices and on-site consumption of new energy in wind and solar energy storage systems. A nested two-layer optimization model is constructed, and the following conclusions are drawn:
Specially, during off-peak hours with a lower electricity price, users with storage can purchase more electricity (than the actual needed consumption) and charge it into storage for later use. During peak hours with a high electricity price, users can discharge the storage to partially fulfill their energy demands.
This further demonstrates that the optimized time-of-use electricity price is conducive to further improving the on-site consumption rate of new energy. Figure 5. Configuration of energy storage before and after demand response. Table 4. Optimization results of typical days in three Seasons.
