Capacity fee paid by user-side energy storage

What is the energy storage service charge?

The energy storage service charge is a fee per unit of electricity that users are required to pay to the SESS when the SESS provides charging and discharging services. The energy storage service fee uses a day as the settlement period. When users have surplus power, the remaining power is stored in the SESS.

Can CES users rent a shared energy storage capacity?

Users are allowed to rent their shared energy storage capacities to each other to maximize their economic benefits. The pricing scheme of the CES service fee is determined according to the charging/discharging behaviors and so caused battery life losses.

What is the difference between user-side small energy storage and cloud energy storage?

The specific differences are as follows: User-side small energy storage participates in the optimization and scheduling of the cloud energy storage service platform, which can aggregate dispersed energy storage devices.

What is shared energy storage (CES)?

CES is a shared energy storage technology that enables users to use the shared energy storage resources composed of centralized or distributed energy storage facilities at any time, anywhere on demand. Users won't need to build their ESS but pay for the energy storage services they obtain.

How does energy storage sharing work?

In this energy storage sharing model, the profits of users come from electricity bill savings, while the system operator gains profits from the difference between the energy storage installation cost and the service fees.
