In summary, fully considering the cost and benefits of energy storage and the impact of the uncertainty of load forecast power on the energy scheduling of user systems with additional energy storage, this paper builds a user-side energy storage configuration optimization model. . In summary, fully considering the cost and benefits of energy storage and the impact of the uncertainty of load forecast power on the energy scheduling of user systems with additional energy storage, this paper builds a user-side energy storage configuration optimization model. . With the continuous development of the Energy Internet, the demand for distributed energy storage is increasing. However, industrial and commercial users consume a large amount of electricity and have high requirements for energy quality; therefore, it is necessary to configure distributed energy. . In view of the shortcomings of the traditional project budget estimation system in the context of the rapid development of user-side energy storage, this paper constructs a new project budget estimation classification system based on the intelligent integrated energy planning simulation platform. Firstly, the total cost of the user-side energy storage system in the whole life cycle is taken as the upper-layer objective function, including investm IEEE 30-node system,as shown in Figure 1.
