Energy storage projects profit from peak-valley price differences
📌

What is Peak-Valley price arbitrage?

1. Peak-Valley Price Arbitrage Peak-valley electricity price differentials remain the core revenue driver for industrial energy storage systems. By charging during off-peak periods (low rates) and discharging during peak hours (high rates), businesses achieve direct cost savings. Key Considerations:

📌

What is Peak-Valley price ratio?

The peak-valley price ratio adopted in domestic and foreign time-of-use electricity price is mostly 3–6 times, and even reach 8–10 times in emergency cases. It is generally believed that when the peak-valley price difference transcends 0.7 CNY/kWh, the energy storage will have the peak-valley arbitrage profit space (Li and Li, ).

📌

What is a profit model for energy storage?

Operational Models: From "peak-valley arbitrage" to "carbon credit monetization," the profit models of commercial and industrial energy storage are becoming increasingly diversified. These new models not only provide investors and users with more choices and opportunities but also drive the continuous development of energy storage technology.

📌

Can a distributed energy storage system improve the economic performance?

In this paper, an economic benefit evaluation model of distributed energy storage system considering the custom power services is proposed to elevate the economic performance of distributed energy storage system on the commercial application and satisfying manifold custom power demands of different users.

📌

How does reserve capacity affect peak-valley arbitrage income?

However, when the proportion of reserve capacity continues to increase, the increase of reactive power compensation income is not obvious and the active output of converter is limited, which reduces the income of peak-valley arbitrage and thus the overall income is decreased.

📌

When is energy storage charged & discharged?

Usually, the energy storage is charged at night when the price is at valley stage, and discharges during the daytime when the power consumption is at peak, so as to achieve peak-valley arbitrage and save cost.

📌

How much is the peak-to-valley price difference for energy

The peak-to-valley price difference is critical for evaluating energy storage profitability because it represents the opportunity for financial gains through energy arbitrage.
