Abstract
In power systems, energy storage effectively improves the reliability of the system and smooths out the fluctuations of intermittent energy. However, the installed capacity value of energy storage cannot effectively measure the contribution of energy storage to the generator adequacy of power systems. To achieve a variety of purposes, several control strategies may be utilized in energy storage systems. The purpose of this paper is to study the influence of different energy storage control strategies on the generation adequacy. This paper presents the capacity value of energy storage to quantitatively estimate the contribution of energy storage on the generation adequacy. Four different control strategies are considered in the experimental method to study the capacity value of energy storage. Finally, the analysis of the influence factors on the capacity value under different control strategies is given.

Summary
With the strong demand to protect the environment and traditional energy sources becoming increasingly tense, renewable energies are considered as clean energy to minimize environmental impacts. The penetration of renewable energy into the power system is quickly increasing. With the integration of renewable energy, the intermittent characteristic adversely affects the reliability of power systems. Energy storage is a promising technology to smooth output power fluctuations, and it effectively improves the generation adequacy of the power system integrated with renewable energy. Current work involving generator capacity is mainly centered on such renewable energies as wind power [1,2,3,4], solar energy [5] and tide power [6,7,8]. Capacity value is usually adopted to assess the contribution of renewable energy to the generation adequacy [9,10,11]. With the wide use of solar power, the capacity value of the photovoltaics [15] and concentrated solar power [16,17,18,19] are investigated
