To mitigate the power fluctuations that can impact the quality of electricity in the grid, this paper establishes an optimization model for capacity configuration of hybrid energy storage systems based on load smoothing. It optioptimizesmises energy use by shifting energy consumption to off-peak hours, thereby reducing costs. The BESS container provides reliable back-up power in the event of a power failure or emergency.
