An energy storage allocation method for renewable energy stations based on standardized supply curve

The goal of carbon emission peak and carbon neutrality requires China to vigorously develop renewable energy. However, renewable energy has obvious randomness and volatility. Therefore, it is necessary to configure energy storage systems for renewable energy stations to ensure the safe and stable operation of power systems. Given the problem of energy storage system configuration in renewable energy stations, it is necessary to consider the system load characteristics and design appropriate principles to formulate planned output curves for renewable energy stations, so that the joint output curve of renewable energy and energy storage system can match the system load curve as much as possible, which will reduce the system peak shaving pressure and promote the utilization of renewable energy. This paper first considers the impact of renewable energy stations with the different installed scales on the power system and designs the standardized supply curves differentially, and defines the supply curve deviation index to characterize the difference between the renewable energy–energy storage system joint output curve and the standardized supply curve. Then, to minimize energy storage system investment costs and supply deviation costs, an optimization model for energy storage system configuration in renewable energy stations is established, and output deviation control constraints are set to ensure that the operation of energy storage systems conforms to actual conditions. Finally, case studies analyze the energy storage system configuration results and the typical scenario operation results of a single renewable energy station and a renewable energy power generation base, which verify the rationality and effectiveness of the method proposed in this paper.
