Why is DL discharged during the night?

During the night, DL of energy is discharged to serve nightly demand. The formula ensures that the storage charge is never negative or higher than storage capacity K. The objective function that the firm wants to maximize can be written as the sum of cost savings from solar and storage across the T periods minus the capacity cost.

How to calculate energy storage at the end of time t?

3.2.1. The Tracking Model. We begin by describing the charging and discharging process. Let xt denote the energy stored at the end of period t (and hence, the charge at beginning of period t + 1). We can compute storage at the end of time t using the following expression: where (a) + = max [0, a]. During the day, there are two possible scenarios.
