How do C&I energy storage projects benefit from Peak-Valley arbitrage?

C&I energy storage projects in China mainly profit from peak-valley arbitrage while reducing demand charges by monitoring the inverters’ power output in real time to prevent transformers of industrial parks from exceeding their capacity limits.

Are industrial parks a significant energy consumer in China?

As previously stated, industrial parks represent a significant energy consumer in China. There is a discernible correlation between the power demand load curves of the industrial park and the province.

Is a large industrial park considering integrating PV and Bess?

Conclusion This study examines the electricity consumption scenario of a large industrial park that is considering integrating PV and BESS. A MILP model with high temporal resolution is devised to conduct system configuration and operational co-optimization, with the aim of minimizing the average electricity cost.

How much does electricity cost in an industrial park?

With the techno-economic parameters shown in Table 1, assuming a maximum load of 10 MW and no upper limit on equipment capacities, the average cost of electricity in the industrial park after optimization using the proposed model is 0.5783 (CNY/kWh), which is 23.09 % lower than using only grid electricity (0.7522 CNY/kWh).

What factors affect the installation capacity of PV & Bess in industrial parks?

In general, the installation capacity of PV and BESS within industrial parks is constrained by internal and external factors including available site space and transformer capacity.
