To counteract renewable energy source-driven volatility, flexible assets have become a remedy in managing supply-demand imbalances and stabilizing returns. Battery storage, gas generation and demand response are leading solutions, helping portfolios remain resilient in increasingly. . Solar and wind power, driven by variable weather patterns, can create differences between forecasted and actual output, leading to major price gaps in day-ahead versus real-time markets. This paper confronts the seminal critique by H. Sinn, who argued that mitigating this volatility would require pumped-storage. . Energy storage technology can effectively solve the problems caused by large-scale grid connection of renewable energy with volatility and uncertainty. Due to the high cost of the energy storage system, the research on capacity allocation of energy storage system has important theoretical and. . In response to the issue of limited new energy output leading to poor smoothing effects on grid-connected load fluctuations, this paper proposes a load-power smoothing method based on “one source with multiple loads”.
