Abstract
This paper proposes a bi-level optimization framework to investigate the optimal market operation strategies of price-maker battery energy storage systems (BESSs) in real-time energy, spinning reserve, and pay as performance regulation markets, with a special focus on understanding BESS’s excessive regulation market participation observed by several system operators and the impact of battery degradation cost on BESS market activities. An accurate battery degradation cost function is integrated into the BESS’s strategic bidding model. An automatic generation control (AGC) signal dispatch model is proposed to deploy AGC signals in the bi-level framework. This enables thorough studies for BESS’s operating characteristics in the frequency regulation market, when both battery degradation and detailed AGC signal following activities are considered. Case studies on a synthetic system with real-world data are performed to study interactions between BESS profit maximization and wholesale market operations, considering system annual load and ancillary service requirements variations. The impacts of BESS capacity and replacement cost on its revenue from energy and ancillary services markets are also investigated.
