This research-in-progress paper investigates the concept of a virtual battery storage and its integration into the unit commitment of the conventional and pumped-storage hydro power plant fleet in Germany after the nuclear phase-out in 2023. The study suggests that the efficiency of power supply with conventional power plants increases by substituting pumped-storage hydro power plants with a virtual battery storage, which is pointed out by decreasing operation of conventional power plants, costs and CO\(_2\) emissions. Additionally, the paper shows a conflict between efficient storages and gas power plants, since batteries allow to store cheap power from base load power plants with high CO\(_2\) emissions.

将虚拟电池存储纳入热电设备承诺中

这篇正在进行中的论文研究了虚拟电池存储的概念，并将其整合到2023年核淘汰后的德国常规水力发电站和抽水蓄能水电站机组的机组承诺中。研究表明，效率通过用虚拟电池存储代替抽水蓄能电站，可以增加传统电站的供电量，这可以通过减少常规电站的运行，成本和CO \（_ 2 \）排放来指出。此外，本文显示了高效存储与天然气发电厂之间的冲突，因为电池允许存储来自CO （_2 \）排放量高的基本负载发电厂的廉价电力。
