Can the energy storage system achieve an annual income of between 5 million and 10 million? Real or fake?
Do you know? The energy storage system not only means storing energy and releasing it when needed, but it can also be profitable. An energy storage power station can even achieve an annual income of between 5 million and 10 million. So, how does the energy storage system achieve profitability?
Generally speaking, the profit models of energy storage systems are mainly divided into the following types.
Mode 1 Peak and Valley Arbitrage
Peak-valley arbitrage is one of the most common profit models for energy storage systems. In the electricity market, electricity prices fluctuate with changes in supply and demand. Electricity prices are usually higher during periods of peak electricity demand (such as during the day and evening) and lower during periods of low demand (such as late at night). The energy storage system stores electric energy during periods of low electricity prices and releases electric energy during periods of peak electricity prices, thereby earning the electricity price difference.
For example, if an energy storage power station with an installed capacity of 50MW purchases electricity at a price of 0.2 yuan/kWh during the low electricity price period and sells electricity at a price of 0.8 yuan/kWh during the peak period, the daily income can reach 300,000 yuan. about. According to this model, in a year, the income of energy storage power stations can reach millions of yuan, or even tens of millions of yuan.
Mode 2 Distributed energy management and intelligent optimization
The energy storage system combines intelligent control technology to achieve distributed energy management. They can be combined with renewable energy sources such as solar panels and wind turbines to achieve self-use and grid-connection of surplus electricity. By intelligently optimizing energy use, energy storage systems can reduce users’ energy costs, improve energy utilization efficiency, and achieve energy-saving effects. In microgrids, the intelligent optimization function of energy storage systems is particularly important, which can provide reliable energy supply and efficient energy management for microgrids.
Model 3 Electricity retail and price difference income
In some areas with a high degree of marketization, energy storage equipment such as energy storage cabinets and energy storage containers are becoming key players in the electricity retail business. These devices play an important role in power storage solutions, using smart energy-saving technology to purchase cheap power during low power prices and sell high-priced power during peak power times, thereby obtaining price difference benefits. This model has particular advantages in markets with large fluctuations in electricity prices. It can not only save costs for users, but also bring a more stable and sustainable profit method to the energy system.
In addition, energy storage systems can provide one-stop energy management services, including equipment installation, operation and maintenance management, energy efficiency optimization, etc. By improving customers’ energy efficiency and reducing energy waste, energy storage systems can not only charge service fees, but also gain more profits through energy-saving benefit sharing.
