Multi-Criteria Evaluation and Selection of Renewable Energy Battery Energy Storage System-A Case Study of Tibet, China

Abstract

Renewable energy sources such as solar energy and wind energy are characterized by intermittency and volatility due to their over-dependence on weather conditions. Therefore, it is especially important for the power system containing renewable energy to equip the energy storage system which can not only guarantee the flexibility of renewable energy utilization, but also improve the reliability of system power supply. Because the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is suitable for mass production and large-scale applications, it has become the main energy storage system scheme for the power system. Because different BESS have differences in efficiency of storage, storage capacity, discharge ability and maintenance, it is necessary to make a comprehensive evaluation and selection of the type of BESS for power system. In this paper, a comprehensive evaluation index system of BESS is established by taking the photovoltaic power station in Xizang region as an example. However, the existing methods are difficult to accurately measure the attribute values of each indicator and the correlation between experts. Therefore, this paper proposes the intuitionistic uncertain language Choquet ordered weighted aggregation operator (IULCWA) by combining intuitionistic uncertain language with fuzzy measure and Choquet integral, and establishes a fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method for BESS selection. Comparison and analysis also prove that the modified model has good scientificity and operability. This study can provide a new theoretical basis for the selection of energy storage schemes for new energy batteries, and expand the application scope of fuzzy MCDM method.
