Optimal allocation method for MIES-based shared energy storage using cooperative game theory and CSP

To further promote the efficient use of energy storage and the local consumption of renewable energy in a multi-integrated energy system (MIES), a MIES model is developed based on the operational characteristics and profitability mechanism of a shared energy storage station (SESS), considering concentrating solar power (CSP), integrated demand response, and renewable energy output uncertainty. We propose a corresponding MIES model based on co-operative game theory and the CSP and an optimal allocation method for MIES shared energy storage. The model considers the maximum operating benefit of the SESS as the upper objective function and the minimum operating cost of the MIES as the lower objective function. First, the Karush–Kuhn–Tucker conditions of the lower-layer model are transformed into constraints of the upper-layer model, and the Big-M method is used to linearize the nonlinear problem and convert the two-layer nonlinear model into a single-layer linear model. Second, based on the Nash negotiation theory, the benefits of each IES in the MIES are allocated. Finally, the fuzzy chance constraints are used to relax the power balance constraints, and the trapezoidal fuzzy numbers are transformed into a deterministic equivalence class to assess the impact of renewable energy output uncertainty on system operation. The validity and rationality of the proposed two-layer model are verified through simulation, and the results demonstrate that the proposed shared storage capacity leasing model can effectively reduce the total operation cost, increase the profitability of the shared storage operator, and increase the utilization rate of the SESS.
