Energy storage peak load auxiliary field compensation mechanism

Do thermal power units participate in peak regulation auxiliary services?

Owing to China’s energy structure, thermal power accounts for nearly half of the country’s installed power generation capacity. Although the willingness of thermal power units to participate in peak regulation auxiliary services is low, we propose a peak regulation cost compensation and capacity-proportional allocation mechanism.

Should auxiliary services be compensated for peak regulation in China?

The standard compensation system of auxiliary services for peak regulation in China’s power market still requires improvement, and the supporting policies require further strengthening. (3) It should be pointed out that the proposed model still needs to test its operability through practice.

Does China have a peak regulation ancillary service market?

To enhance the market participation initiatives from the power source and load sides, we propose a novel power system optimal scheduling and cost compensation mechanism for China’s peak regulation ancillary service market. Owing to China’s energy structure, thermal power accounts for nearly half of the country’s installed power generation capacity.

What is the difference between capacity allocation and thermal power allocation?

Unlike the electricity allocation mechanism (Zhao et al., 2022), the capacity allocation mechanism was determined based on the proportion of each unit’s maximum output, whereas the allocation of thermal power units was determined based on the proportion of their non-DPR capacity.

Does peak regulation affect benefit allocation?

In research on the economic dispatch of power systems considering peak regulation initiatives, the issue of benefit allocation among various peak regulation entities is involved.

What is a peak regulation mechanism?

This mechanism comprehensively considers the source-load initiative. From the source side, it encourages entities to participate in peak regulation, and the restriction of the peak regulation initiative is set to ensure that each entity benefits from the peak regulation transaction.
