Planning of photovoltaic energy storage industry cluster
This study proposes an optimization strategy for energy storage planning to address the challenges of coordinating photovoltaic storage clusters. The strategy aims to improve system performance within current group control systems, considering multi-scenario collaborative control. In terms of cluster partitioning, this study breaks through the limitations of traditional methods that solely focus on electrical parameters or single functions. Innovatively, it partitions the distribution. . In order to realize the optimal planning of grid–resource–storage for distribution networks (DNs) with high penetrated distributed photovoltaics (PVs), a cluster partition-based two-layer expansion planning for DNs is proposed. This paper investigates the construction and operation of a residential photovoltaic energy storage. .
