Market Evaluation of Energy Storage Systems Incorporating Technology-Specific Nonlinear Models

A generic constant-efficiency energy flow model is commonly used in techno-economic analyses of grid energy storage systems. In practice, charge and discharge efficiencies of energy storage systems depend on state of charge, temperature, and charge/discharge powers. Furthermore, the operating characteristics of energy storage devices are technology specific. Therefore, generic constant-efficiency energy flow models do not accurately capture the system performance. In this work, we propose to use technology-specific nonlinear energy flow models based on nonlinear operating characteristics of the storage devices. These models are incorporated into an optimization problem to find the optimal market participation of energy storage systems. We develop a dynamic programming method to solve the optimization problem and perform two case studies for maximizing the revenue of a vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) and a Li-ion battery system in Pennsylvania New Jersey Maryland (PJM) interconnection's energy and frequency regulation markets.
