Reliability and economic evaluation of energy storage as backup and load regulation power supply in data centers
The battery energy storage system (BESS) combines backup and load regulation functions, making it a potential alternative to the diesel generator (DG) as the backup power source for data centers. Some studies have been conducted on the reliability and cost–benefit of equipping data centers with BESS, but the impact of the reliability of external utility power and the expected outage losses have not been considered. Therefore, this study established a power supply reliability model that included the external utility power reliability and the electrical equipment reliability, and a cost–benefit model that took into account the BESS construction and replacement cost, the outage loss reduction, and the load regulation benefits. A case study was conducted on a data center in Beijing. The results indicate that: (a) the reliability and cost–benefit of BESS significantly vary with the reliability of the external utility power; (b) based on the 2022 utility power reliability data from various regions in China, in over 48% of the regions, the objective function value of BESS, the annual net income considering power outage losses, and the investment payback period are all superior to those of DG; and in over 27% of regions, the BESS–DG parallel system can serve as a suboptimal alternative to DG; (c) in regions with reliable utility power, BESS exhibits the potential as a feasible substitute for DG in providing backup and load regulation power to data centers.
期刊介绍:
Energy Science & Engineering is a peer reviewed, open access journal dedicated to fundamental and applied research on energy and supply and use. Published as a co-operative venture of Wiley and SCI (Society of Chemical Industry), the journal offers authors a fast route to publication and the ability to share their research with the widest possible audience of scientists, professionals and other interested people across the globe. Securing an affordable and low carbon energy supply is a critical challenge of the 21st century and the solutions will require collaboration between scientists and engineers worldwide. This new journal aims to facilitate collaboration and spark innovation in energy research and development. Due to the importance of this topic to society and economic development the journal will give priority to quality research papers that are accessible to a broad readership and discuss sustainable, state-of-the art approaches to shaping the future of energy. This multidisciplinary journal will appeal to all researchers and professionals working in any area of energy in academia, industry or government, including scientists, engineers, consultants, policy-makers, government officials, economists and corporate organisations.
