The inspector gave “great weight” to the facility''s public benefits, which stem from its ability to support the national transition to renewable energy by storing excess power. Nicholls allowed the appeal but dismissed the appellant''s application for costs, which was made after delays during the processing of the appeal application.
The Ref. proposes a practical method for optimally combined peaking of energy storage and conventional means. By establishing a computational model with technical and economic indicators, the combined peaking optimization scheme for power systems with different renewable energy penetration levels is finally obtained through calculation.

European and American have also released some development plans on energy storage technology [5, 6]. However, suffer from the relatively high installation cost, the return on investment in energy storage is unsatisfactory, which leads to low enthusiasm for energy storage investment especially in power generation and grid sides.
For energy storage systems, energy stored, typical storage duration, final output electrical energy, and the instantaneous power that can be delivered are important parameters.
The large-scale development of energy storage began around 2000. From 2000 to 2010, energy storage technology was developed in the laboratory. Electrochemical energy storage is the focus of research in this period. From 2011 to 2015, energy storage technology gradually matured and entered the demonstration application stage.
