Potential Arbitrage Revenue of Energy Storage
نویسندگان
چکیده
The price of electricity in the Mid-Atlantic (PJM) region of the United States increased during the “Polar Vortex” at the beginning of 2014. Transmission lines were congested because of high demand during the extreme cold weather. The natural gas price for electricity generation increased more than 35% at the end of 2013. Energy Storage Systems (ESS) would have helped the system to overcome many difficulties during that period. Other opportunities in energy arbitrage define the greatest scale for storage applications. Real-time and Day-ahead markets in PJM provide alternative arbitrage opportunities. Considering the prices in 2014 for 7,395 locations in PJM, results show the potential revenue for ESS for normal arbitrage and for extreme cold weather events.

Energy Storage Arbitrage in Real-Time Markets Via Reinforcement Learning
In this paper, we derive a temporal arbitrage policy for storage via reinforcement learning. Real-time price arbitrage is an important source of revenue for storage units, but designing good strategies have proven to be difficult because of the highly uncertain nature of the prices. Instead of current model predictive or dynamic programming approaches, we use reinforcement learning to design a ...
متن کاملOptimal Threshold Control for Energy Arbitrage with Degradable Battery Storage
Energy arbitrage has the potential to make electric grids more efficient and reliable. Batteries hold great promise for energy storage in arbitrage but can degrade rapidly with use. In this paper, we analyze the impact of storage degradation on the structure of optimal policies in energy arbitrage. We derive properties of the battery degradation response that are sufficient for the existence of...
متن کاملEconomics of electric energy storage for energy arbitrage and regulation in New York
Unlike markets for storable commodities, electricity markets depend on the real-time balance of supply and demand. Although much of the present-day grid operates effectively without storage, cost-effective ways of storing electrical energy can help make the grid more efficient and reliable. We investigate the economics of two emerging electric energy storage (EES) technologies: sodium sulfur ba...
متن کامل[email protected] Large-Scale Energy Storage Deployment in Ontario Utilizing Time-of-Use and Wholesale Electricity Prices: An Economic Analysis
In the Ontario power system, almost all coal power plants have been recently closed. The major power generation in Ontario is currently provided by nuclear power plants (base-load generation). Additionally, wind generation typically is maximum at night, a time period when the demand is minimum. This raises the question whether energy storage systems (ESSs) should be deployed in Ontario to shift...
متن کاملFacilitating the Development and Integration of Low-Carbon Energy Technologies
Climate change mitigation will require extensive decarbonization of the electricity sector. This thesis addresses both large-scale wind integration (Papers 1–3) and development of new energy technologies (Paper 4) in service of this goal. Compressed air energy storage (CAES) could be paired with a wind farm to provide firm, dispatchable baseload power, or serve as a peaking plant and capture up...
