Abstract

Large scale energy storage installations have seen a rise in recent years, especially in combination with renewable power plants. Their increasing integration is contingent on successful market participation. So far, a common objective in energy resource scheduling is the maximization of profit from market participation, which requires high storage utilization and, consequently, leads to their degradation. This contribution presents a multi-objective mixed-integer program for operational planning of solar-storage plants that maximizes profit and minimizes the number of charge cycles. In a case study, solar-storage plants are studied in a short-term market environment. Pareto optimal solutions are determined using the epsilon constraint method. Analysis of the pareto-front shows that even minor sacrifices in profit allow to significantly reduce the number of charge cycles and therefore increase the lifetime of the battery.
