What are the challenges of procurement for utility-side storage & solar-plus projects?

The challenges of procurement for utility-side storage and solar-plus projects center largely on early-stage decisions: defining the top-priority use case, but also exploring ways to get more value out of the project and to prepare for market changes over its life.

What is ESS bidding model?

The proposed ESS bidding model aims to maximize the expectation profit by allocating the capacities bidding in energy, primary and contingency reserve, and regulation markets. The clearing prices of each market are considered as stochastic parameters in this paper. The daily optimal bidding model is formulated as follows.

Does strategic ESS bidding work in electricity markets with limit information?

These findings reinforce the practicality and adaptability of the proposed method for strategic ESS bidding in electricity markets with limit information and offer a solid foundation for future research on market-based ESS operations.

What is an example of a bidding strategy?

For example, Nord Pool (Northern Europe) and BETTA (Great Britain Electricity Trading and Transmission Arrangements) provide access to grid parameters but restrict access to energy bidding data . Hence, developing bidding strategies under imperfect information is essential for price makers.

How is the bidding strategy formulated?

The bidding strategy is performed daily, and the joint PDFs of demand and price is formulated based on the last 6 months data with similar day's conditions (weekdays or weekends) and time periods (48 points per day). The following 4 cases are considered and tested.

Can price-maker ESS bidding maximize profits through energy arbitrage?

A novel price-maker ESS bidding model is proposed to maximize profits through energy arbitrage and the provision of ancillary services. SPQC is developed to capture the price probability distributions as functions of ESS bidding decisions.
