Abstract: In order to make the energy storage system achieve the expected peak-shaving and valley-filling effect, an energy-storage peak-shaving scheduling strategy considering the improvement goal of peak-valley difference is proposed.
The model aims to minimize the load peak-to-valley difference after peak-shaving and valley-filling. We consider six existing mainstream energy storage technologies: pumped hydro storage (PHS), compressed air energy storage (CAES), super-capacitors (SC), lithium-ion batteries, lead-acid batteries, and vanadium redox flow batteries (VRB).
A simulation based on a real power network verified that the proposed strategy could effectively reduce the load difference between the valley and peak. These studies aimed to minimize load fluctuations to achieve the maximum energy storage utility.
Therefore, minimizing the load peak-to-valley difference after energy storage, peak-shaving, and valley-filling can utilize the role of energy storage in load smoothing and obtain an optimal configuration under a high-quality power supply that is in line with real-world scenarios.
Finally, taking the actual load data of a certain area as an example, the advantages and disadvantages of this strategy and the constant power control strategy are compared through simulation, and it is verified that this strategy has a better effect of peak shaving and valley filling.

The outer model optimizes the photovoltaic & energy storage capacity, and the inner model optimizes the operation strategy of the energy storage.
The optimal configuration capacity of photovoltaic and energy storage depends on several factors such as time-of-use electricity price, consumer demand for electricity, cost of photovoltaic and energy storage, and the local annual solar radiation.
The installation of photovoltaic energy storage systems for large industrial customers can reduce expenditures on electricity purchase and has considerable economic benefits. Different types of energy storage have different life due to diversity in their materials.
Energy storage configuration models were developed for different modes, including self-built, leased, and shared options. Each mode has its own tailored energy storage configuration strategy, providing theoretical support for energy storage planning in various commercial contexts.
