However, if the first hours of the following day are characterized by power draws exceeding the contracted level, the consumer will need energy from storage not to violate the maximum power. Too low SoC level may fail to serve this need, thus the minimal SoC level for the end of the day is specified to maintain continuous operation: (11) SoC 0 nextday ⩽ SoC 96
averages therefore do not have the precision needed to identify which customers would be profitable to serve. What is energy storage? Energy storage absorbs and then releases power so it can be generated at one time and used at another. Major forms of energy storage include lithium-ion, lead-acid, and molten-salt batteries, as well as flow cells.
