In the operation horizon, the BESS intends to shave power flows through the substation transformer during the peak-demand period.

Peak shaving refers to the practice of reducing electricity demand during peak hours to prevent overloading the power grid. It can also be used by utilities or renewable energy plants to increase the capacity of the existing grid infrastructure by deferring T&D upgrades into the future, providing a more cost efficient upgrade path for the power system. Fig.1 illustrates the principle of peak shaving, where the area corresponds to power x time, i.e., energy.
By implementing innovative solutions such as peak shaving through BESSs, the energy landscape can be transformed. With potential reductions in peak consumption, significant cost savings, improved grid stability, and tangible environmental benefits, peak shaving demonstrates its potential to be a pivotal strategy in reshaping our energy future.
Amid these pressing challenges, the concept of peak shaving emerges as a promising strategy, particularly when harnessed through battery energy storage systems (BESSs, Figure 1). These systems offer a dynamic solution by capturing excess energy during off-peak hours and releasing it strategically during peak demand periods.
If the load demand is maintained at the current level, the growing capacity of renewable energy sources gradually reduces the space for the output of traditional thermal power units and results in an increasing reliance on the deep peak shaving of thermal power units.
