When the centralized electrical storage absorbs the PV energy, the energy flow does not pass from the grid (purple arrow) and there are therefore neither costs nor revenues. When the battery releases energy to cover the consumption of the REC (yellow arrow), the energy is sold to the grid and purchased by the REC, with the …
Comparing the TOU price curve with the day-ahead price curve, the TOU price is fixed in both the valley and peak load hours, while the day-ahead price fluctuates randomly during those same hours. During the valley hours when ES charging occurs, the day-ahead price may be greater than the day-ahead price at other times, which will …

Specifically, a storage aggregator invests and operates the central physical storage unit, by virtualizing it into separable virtual capacities and selling to users. Each user purchases the virtual capacity, and utilize it to reduce the energy cost. We formulate the interaction between the aggregator and users as a two-stage optimization problem.
In the CES model, energy storage resources are put into a sharing pool, which can be called an "energy storage cloud". Under this situation, energy storage resources and energy storage services will present "cloud" features to users, which …
