TO MEET THE NEWEST CARBON EMISSION REDUCtion
and carbon neutrality targets, the capacity of variable
renewable energy sources in China is planned to double in
the next five years. A high penetration of renewable energy
brings significant power system flexibility challenges, and
the requirements for flexible resources become increasingly
critical. Energy storage, as an effective and adaptable solution,
may still be too expensive for peak shaving and renewable
energy integration. A new type of business model has
been proposed that uses cloud-based platforms to aggregate
distributed energy storage resources to provide flexibility
services to power systems and consumers. In such cloudbased
platforms, storage resources can be more strategically
