The bidding strategy of energy storage power station formulated in most papers relies on the day-ahead predicted price and regulation demand, and the effectiveness of the bidding strategy is based on the premise that day-ahead forecast is accurate [9, 10, 11].
In the first three quarters, the average bid price for domestic non-hydro energy storage systems (0.5C lithium iron phosphate systems) was 622.90 RMB/kWh, a year-on-year decline of 50%. While bid prices remained relatively stable in the first half of the year, they reached a historic low of 578.11 RMB/kWh in Q3, particularly in September.
In the first three quarters of 2024, newly operational non-hydro energy storage installations reached 20.67 GW/50.72 GWh, representing year-on-year growth of 69% in power capacity and 99% in energy capacity.
In recent years, battery energy storages stations (BESSs) account for the largest proportion in large-scale energy storage power station projects due to its advantages such as rapid response, high integrated power, decreasing cost year by year and short construction cycle.
Market operators use either sequential or joint energy-reserve procurement strategies. Joint markets clear energy and reserves simultaneously, accounting for interdependencies, using UC optimization at the unit level . Examples include U.S. markets such as PJM, CAISO, ERCOT, MISO, and NYISO , .
The share of pumped hydro storage in the total installed capacity fell below 50% for the first time. Among these, the cumulative installed capacity of non-hydro energy storage surpassed 50 GW for the first time, reaching 55.18 GW/125.18 GWh. Power capacity grew by 119% year-on-year, while energy capacity surged by 244% year-on-year.
