A two-layer scheduling method of energy storage that considers the uncertainty of both source and load is proposed to coordinate thermal power with composite energy storage to participate in the peak regulation of power systems. They effectively balance the supply and demand, maintain grid stability, and ensure the reliability of grid operations. Firstly, considering the characteristics of thermal power deep peak. . The simulation example shows that the virtual power plant and its day-ahead and intra-day optimal peak regulation strategy can reduce the peak regulation cost of the power system, as compared with the deep peak regulation of thermal power plants with a special supporting energy storage power. .

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) contribute to peak capacity management through several key mechanisms: BESS stores energy during low-demand periods and discharges it during peak hours to reduce grid strain and electricity costs. This limits reliance on peaker plants and avoids infrastructure. . for ensuring a consistent power supply to consumers. Battery energy storage systems (BESS) ofer a flexible and eficient solution to support the grid infrastructure. A battery energy storage system (BESS) is an electrochemical device that charges (or collects energy) from the grid or a power plant and then discharges that energy at a later time to. . Can battery energy storage be used in grid peak and frequency regulation? To explore the application potential of energy storage and promote its integrated application promotion in the power grid, this paper studies the comprehensive application and configuration mode of battery energy storage. . Therefore, this paper proposes a coordinated variable-power control strategy for multiple battery energy storage stations (BESSs), improving the performance of peak shaving.

Can energy storage system participate in power system peak and frequency modulation?
The energy storage system can participate in power system peak and frequency modulation. However, the energy storage system cannot participate in the trade of multiple power system varieties on the user side, nor can it provide localized power supply reliability guarantees for various regions.
Should energy storage systems be used for frequency and peak regulation?
Because of the rapid development of large-capacity energy storage technology and its excellent regulation performance, utilizing energy storage systems for frequency and peak regulation becomes a popular research topic [7, 8].
How does peak regulation affect electric vehicle charging?
When neither energy storage nor the thermal power plant can meet the demand for peak regulation, wind power will generate more wind abandonment power, and the overall capacity deviation at the last moment of electric vehicle charging will be smaller. TABLE 5. System peak regulation results in different scenarios.
Do energy storage technologies cost more than peaking power alternatives?
At present, most energy storage technologies have higher capital costs than peaking power alternatives such as gas turbines (flywheels are similar in capital cost to a combined-cycle natural gas turbine, and NaS batteries are 1.8 to 3.5 times the capital cost of an NGCC unit).
