Abstract：Battery energy storage (BES) is widely used in various applications in the power system as a flexible regulation resource. One of the key applications is peak shaving. BES can charge and discharge to capture the price difference between peak and valley periods in the electricity market. However, due to the inherent operational characteristics of BES, peak shaving behavior results in irreversible aging loss, leading to a reduction in lifespan and available capacity. Establishing an accurate aging model for BES is fundamental for simulating its peak shaving behavior and evaluating investment benefits. The aging characteristics of BES are state-dependent at different stages of its lifespan. However, aging models with fixed parameters fail to consider the variation in aging parameters over time during long-term peak shaving simulations. A state-dependent aging model for BES is proposed, based on the Arrhenius empirical model, which accounts for the impact of lifespan on aging characteristics. This model can represent the full aging behavior of BES throughout its lifespan. A discrete form of the model is developed to meet the application requirements of power system optimization. The discrete variables are adapted to those of the power system, enabling their integration. Furthermore, the discrete aging model is embedded in a peak shaving optimization model. To address the challenge of solving the highly nonlinear discrete aging model, linearization techniques are employed to facilitate model computation. A dynamic parameter updating mechanism for BES is also designed and incorporated into the discrete aging model, enabling dynamic updates of the aging loss rate and available capacity during long-term peak shaving simulations, thus accurately capturing the full aging process throughout the lifespan. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed method in investment benefits evaluation, historical locational marginal prices from the Southern Power Pool (SPP) electricity market are used as inputs to simulate the daily peak shaving operations of BES. The results of the daily simulations are used to update BES parameters via the dynamic updating mechanism, and the peak shaving benefits are then calculated. By updating boundary conditions, long-term peak shaving simulations of BES throughout its lifespan are performed, and the cumulative net present value (NPV) of investing in BES for peak shaving is computed. The results show that the proposed method allows for considering aging loss variation over time, reflecting the impact of state-dependent aging characteristics on the peak shaving performance of BES. This method enables accurate evaluation of BES investment benefits. From the analysis, the following conclusions can be drawn: (1) The state-dependent aging model of BES, based on the Arrhenius empirical model and after discretization and linearization, can accurately capture the aging characteristics throughout the entire lifespan of BES. It also facilitates effective application in power system peak shaving simulations. (2) The state-dependent aging characteristics influence the charge and discharge behavior decisions of BES under electricity price signals. Using the state-dependent aging model allows for precise quantification of the aging costs arising from BES’s peak shaving behavior, enabling accurate evaluation of the investment benefits of BES in peak shaving applications.
