Can hybrid energy storage systems be used for energy trading and arbitrage?
Most of the studies focus on the cost effectiveness of energy storage systems for various services to the grid. This work thus focuses on commercial application of energy storage and explores the economic potential of hybrid energy storage systems for multi-energy trading and arbitrage in electricity markets.
What are hybrid energy storage systems?
Hybrid energy storage systems show promise for multi-energy (electricity and hydrogen) trading and arbitrage. Electric power grids with large shares of intermittent renewable energy generation tend to face frequent imbalances between energy supply and demand, and require energy storage solutions for flexibility.
