BATTERY STORAGE IN NEW ZEALAND

Energy storage can be sited at three di erent levels: behind the meter, at the distribution level, or at the transmission level. Energy storage deployed at all levels on the electricity system can add value to the grid. However, customer-sited, behind-the-meter energy storage can technically provide the largest number

Source-load cooperative multi-modal peak regulation and cost

In addition, the demand response can effectively reduce the peak–valley difference in the system net load, peak load pressure, and energy storage of the thermal power units. By comparing the output of the thermal power units in Figure 5, we can see that in Case 4, the thermal power unit output fluctuation is smaller and the operating cost is lower.
