Can energy storage reduce the discharge load of charging piles during peak hours?
Combining Figs. 10 and 11, it can be observed that, based on the cooperative effect of energy storage, in order to further reduce the discharge load of charging piles during peak hours, the optimized scheduling scheme transfers most of the controllable discharge load to the early morning period, thereby further reducing users' charging costs.
Does insufficient charging/discharging affect energy storage performance?
The evaluations of the energy storage density, system efficiency and power output, under the effects of insufficient charging/discharging, are presented in Fig. 8, Fig. 10, Fig. 12. The results demonstrate that the actual performance of density and power, except for the system efficiency, could highly deviate from the targets at design conditions.
To optimize grid operations, concerning energy storage charging piles connected to the grid, the charging load of energy storage is shifted to nighttime to fill in the valley of the grid's baseline load. During peak electricity consumption periods, priority is given to using stored energy for electric vehicle charging.
How to reduce charging cost for users and charging piles?
Based Eq., to reduce the charging cost for users and charging piles, an effective charging and discharging load scheduling strategy is implemented by setting the charging and discharging power range for energy storage charging piles during different time periods based on peak and off-peak electricity prices in a certain region.
During peak time periods, when the remaining capacity of the energy storage system is greater than the set value, its discharging power is the energy storage discharging power. Conversely, the discharging power of the charging pile is supplied by the grid power.
How does mhihho optimize charging pile discharge load?
Fig. 11 Before and after optimization of charging pile discharge load. The MHIHHO algorithm optimizes the charging pile's discharge power and discharge time, as well as the energy storage's charging and discharging rates and times, to maximize the charging pile's revenue and minimize the user's charging costs.
