AI summary

The present disclosure provides an energy storage operation mode switching method and apparatus, a storage medium, and a device, which relate to the technical field of power scheduling. The energy storage operation mode switching method includes: presetting a first load forecasting model; acquiring first user input information; inputting the first user input information into a model for learning, and generating a first user electricity consumption behavior model; inputting a forecasting result of the first user electricity consumption behavior model and a forecasting result of the first load forecasting model into the model for learning, and generating a second load forecasting model; and outputting an energy storage scheduling strategy according to a second load forecasting result. This application addresses the problems existing in the prior art. That is, the existing energy storage modes are limited, failing to offer a variety of application modes for users, thereby making it impossible to perform timely and effective mode switching in response to changes in application scenarios, resulting in suboptimal user experience. Meanwhile, there is a lack of convenient human-computer interaction methods, leading to delays in information interaction.
