Q2. What future works have the authors mentioned in the paper "Optimal bidding strategy of battery storage in power markets considering performance-based regulation and battery cycle life" ?
One remaining issue for future research is how to decide a battery storage ’ s bidding strategy when it is no longer a price-taker in the regulation market.
Q3. How many times could a battery provide fast regulation service following RegD?
Most battery storages are capable of ramping from zero power output to full capacity within seconds or even milliseconds, such as the vanadium redox flow battery, and thus could provide fast regulation service following RegD.
Q4. How many cycles can a vanadium redox flow battery store?
After replacing some components such as the cell stack and pumps, the vanadium redox flow battery storage station can operate another Tservice years, totaling 2Tservice years.
Q5. what is the power function for f (d)?
(5) In this paper, f (d) is adopted to be a power function for itsgood applicability in different kinds of batteries, asf (d) = Nfail100 · d−kP (6) where kP is a constant ranging from 0.8 to 2.1 [12]–[16] and Nfail100 is the number of cycles to failure at 100% DOD.
Q6. How can the authors guarantee the rigorousness of the proposed method?
To guarantee the rigorousness of the above proposed method, the authors could re-identify the half cycles on the total energy curve of the optimal result and compute the cycle life again using the original calculation method without decomposition.
Q7. What is the effect of increasing the energy capacity on the profit rate?
When the authors continue to raise the energy capacity, the increase of the investment cost dominates and causes the decrease in the profit rate.
Q8. What is the way to improve battery life?
Better bidding and operating strategies in power markets could remarkably improve the prospects and economic viability of battery storage.
Q9. What are the common settings of power market mechanisms?
Without loss of generality, common settings of power market mechanisms are implemented in this paper, which include day-ahead energy, spinning reserve, and regulation markets [7], [9]
Q10. What is the impact of a battery storage bidding strategy?
When regulation prices are comparatively low, battery storages purchase in the energy market to balance the energy loss, which can be observed by comparing Figs. 5 and 6.
Q11. How long does the battery have to be in service?
Under the optimal bidding strategy, the battery could make a 26.3% profit in total, and the daily equivalent 100%-DOD cycle number is limited to 3.42 to keep cycle life no less than ten years.
Q12. What is the way to reduce the energy bids?
The regulation capacity bids must be reduced at that time to make charging possible, and the spinning reserve can be supplied then.
Q13. How many cycles can a vanadium redox flow battery last?
Taking a vanadium redox flow battery as an example, the cell stack’s float life Tfloat can be expected to last more than ten years [27], and its number of 100%-DOD cycles to failure Nfail100 usually exceeds 10 000 [1].
Q14. What is the role of the battery storage market?
The authors assume that battery storage simultaneously bids in the three day-ahead markets, treated as a normal market participant like traditional generators.
Q15. How many cycles to failure are derived from f (d)?
(8)According to (3) and (7), a battery’s daily equivalent 100%-DOD cycle number and cycle life are derived, respectivelyneq,day100 = ∑k∈C 0.5 ·(dhalfk)kP (9)Tcycle = N fail 100W · neq,day100 .
Q16. What is the mechanism used to reduce the regulation capacity requirement in PJM?
This mechanism provides incentives for high-performing regulation resources and reduces the overall regulation capacity requirement in PJM [3].
Q17. What is the purpose of the simulated signal?
The simulated signal serves as a parameter in optimization, and its local extreme points could be picked out in advance, as shown in Fig. 4(b).
