Guide to C&I Energy Storage System
Foreword Introduction
Against the backdrop of the current energy transition and climate change challenges, commercial and industrial energy storage systems (C&I ESS) have emerged as a key technology to drive sustainable development. It not only optimizes energy use but also enhances power supply reliability and supports clean energy integration while bringing economic benefits to users. With technological advances and cost reductions, C&I ESS has shown broad prospects in a variety of application scenarios, including zero-carbon smart parks, commercial complexes, and data centers. This paper explores the key concepts of commercial and industrial energy storage, application scenarios, and their significance to the future energy system.
C&I Energy Storage System
Commercial and industrial storage refers to a system that stores energy in different forms to be released and used when needed. It plays an important role in the industrial and commercial sectors. It mainly has the following functions: 1, regulating the grid load, using excess power for storage, and releasing energy when the load increases, thus balancing the grid load and reducing the imbalance between supply and demand; 2, improving the efficiency of energy utilization, which can convert some unstable energy into a stable form for storage, and then releasing the energy when it is needed; 3, back-up power supply to ensure that the production and commercial activities are normally Conducted to reduce the impact of power interruptions on the industrial and commercial sectors
Energy storage in front of the meter
Pre-meter energy storage is categorized into power-side energy storage and grid-measured energy storage, which are often called “big storage”.
Power Side Energy Storage
It is mainly used to smooth the output of wind and solar power generation, solve the problem of new energy consumption, and provide frequency regulation auxiliary service for thermal power traditional energy units.
Grid measurement energy storage
Mainly to realize system frequency regulation
Relieve grid blockage and improve transmission and distribution capacity: When the line load is larger than the line capacity, the line is blocked and unable to transmit electricity. Installing the energy storage system upstream of the line can store the power that cannot be transmitted, and when the line load is less than the line capacity, the energy storage system then discharges the power to the line.
Deferring the construction of new transmission and distribution facilities: In transmission and distribution facilities where the line load is close to the line capacity, the energy storage system can defer the expansion and construction of new transmission and distribution facilities by increasing the transmission and distribution capacity.
Behind-the-Meter Energy Storage
Customer Side Energy Storage
The main difference here is between industrial and commercial energy storage and household energy storage, both of which are self-generated by the user to ensure the stability and reliability of their power consumption, while at the same time achieving peak filling, reducing the cost of electricity, relying on the peak power from which to make a profit.
Industrial and commercial peaking
It is closely related to load forecasting. Based on the load forecast for the next day, a generation plan is formulated to match the load for the next day, and on the next day, the operation is mechanically executed according to this plan.
Industrial and commercial frequency regulation
FM is an action based on peaking. Because our forecast is accurate, but also inevitably appears the forecast value and the actual value of the deviation, this deviation must be compensated for. At this time, the FM system has to play a role, using one-time FM and AGC, to maintain the system stability, this transition process time is very short. In summary, FM is an automatic behavior that can be accomplished without any intervention.
What are the terms used in commercial and industrial energy storage? And what do they mean?
What Is MW?
MW is the amount of power that can be input or output under certain time conditions for a given electrochemical energy storage device. The unit is W, kW, MW, GW conversion ratio is 1:1000.
What Is MWH?
MWH is the amount of power discharged by the battery under certain conditions, which is also one of the important performance indicators to measure the performance of the battery. The unit is wh, kwh, Mwh, GwhTwh, and the conversion ratio is 1:1000.
What Is DoD?
DoD (Depth of Discharge) represents the depth of charging and discharging: it is an index used to describe the degree of utilization of battery capacity in the charging and discharging process of the energy storage system. It represents the percentage of the discharged battery capacity relative to the total capacity of the battery. The smaller the number, the shallower the discharge. For example, a battery with 5 kilowatt-hours (kwh) of power and a maximum allowable discharge of 4 kwh would have a depth of discharge of 80%.
What Is PCS?
The PCS assumes the role of an executive, and its main function is to control the process of charging and discharging the battery pack and to perform the conversion between DC and AC. In the case of no power, it charges the load directly.PCS consists of DC/AC bi-directional converter and control unit, which accepts the control instructions from the backend through the communication protocol, and the sign as well as the size of the power instruction, it controls the converter to charge and discharge the battery, realizing the regulation of active and reactive power of the grid.PCS communicates with the BMS through the CAN interface to obtain the status information of the battery pack, to PCS communicates with BMS through the CAN interface to obtain the status information of the battery pack and realize the protective charging of the battery pack.
What Is EMS?
EMS is mainly responsible for data acquisition, network monitoring, and energy control to realize the energy control of the microgrid within the energy storage system and ensure the natural operation of the microgrid and the whole system. The main functions include monitoring and acquisition, data analysis and optimization, energy scheduling and control, detection, and safety protection.
What Is BMS?
The BMS acts as a sensing system and is responsible for battery monitoring, evaluation and protection, and equalization. The main function is to monitor the operating status of the battery inside the storage unit and to ensure the safe operation of the storage unit. Together with the battery cells, the BMS measures the parameters of the battery cells, including voltage, current, temperature, etc., to prevent overcharging and over-discharging and to prolong the service life of the battery.
What Is EPC?
EPC refers to the owner commissioned in accordance with the agreed laws on the design and procurement of the project of energy storage, so that the whole process is fully completed general contracting. Advantages: clear contractual relationship, more direct communication channels, improved efficiency and construction speed, and optimization of the project
Four major revenue streams for commercial and industrial energy storage:
What is called peak shaving and valley filling?
It refers to the use of energy storage devices (e.g., battery packs) in the power system to regulate the grid load to balance the fluctuation of the grid load and realize the stable operation of the power system. Among other things, peak shaving and valley filling algorithms are mainly used to adjust the supply and demand relationship of the grid, reduce the pressure of the grid load during the peak period, and at the same time, fill the vacancies of the grid load during the trough period
Load prediction: Predicting the trend of grid load through historical data, weather forecasts, and other factors.
Determine the charging and discharging strategy: Based on the results of load forecasting, formulate the charging and discharging strategy of battery energy storage equipment. For example, during the peak load period, the battery storage equipment can take constant power charging mode to minimize the grid load; during the low load period, the battery storage equipment can take constant power discharging mode to fill the grid load vacancy.
Optimization control: According to the real-time load of the grid and the charging and discharging status of the battery storage equipment, the charging, and discharging power is adjusted in real-time to realize peak shaving and valley filling.
Monitoring and adjustment: Feedback adjustment of the algorithm through real-time monitoring of the grid load and the operation status of the battery energy storage equipment to improve the accuracy and adaptability of the algorithm.
The peak-shaving algorithm has the following advantages:
Flexibility: real-time adjustment of charging and discharging strategies according to changes in grid load, with high adaptability.
Economy: Reduce grid operation costs by optimizing the charging and discharging strategies of battery storage devices.
Stability: effectively balance the supply and demand relationship of the grid, and improve the stability of grid operation.
Environmental protection: Reduce fossil energy consumption through the use of renewable energy generation, which is conducive to environmental protection.
What is Capacity Reduction and Demand Reduction?
Capacity reduction refers to the role of the energy storage system to reduce the overall capacity demand of the transformer, thereby reducing the construction cost of transformer capacity expansion as well as the later fixed-capacity tariffs or maximum demand tariffs.
When an enterprise installs an energy storage system, the power of the energy storage machine can replace part of the transformer capacity to supply power to the load, which smoothes out the peak load power and reduces the overall capacity demand, thus reducing the construction cost of the transformer as well as the capacity charge at a later stage.
What is Static Capacity Increase?
Static capacity increase means applying to the power authority for a larger transformer, but this is very expensive. Dynamic capacity increase is done by installing an energy storage system. Through the energy storage system, energy is stored and discharged during the overloaded operation of the transformer, which reduces the transformer load and thus reduces the cost of transformer capacity increase and renovation. The energy storage system not only significantly reduces costs, but also increases revenue through peak and valley arbitrage.
What is the dynamic capacity increase?
Dynamic capacity increase is through the installation of energy storage systems. Through the energy storage system in the transformer overload operation time storage discharge, reduce the transformer load, to reduce the transformer capacity expansion and renovation costs. The energy storage system can not only greatly reduce the cost but also increase the income through the peak and valley arbitrage.
