A new report from Guidehouse Insights explores the benefits of storage as a transmission asset (SATA) in power grid upgrades and provides an update on regulatory changes that are enabling SATA.
Electrical Energy Storage, EES, is one of the key technologies in the areas covered by the IEC. EES techniques have shown unique capabilities in coping with some critical characteristics of electricity, for example hourly variations in demand and price.
“Energy storage is increasingly viewed as a viable option to traditional transmission and distribution investments and a tool to maximize the efficiency of existing grid systems,” says Roberto Rodriguez Labastida, senior research analyst with Guidehouse Insights.
Electricity transmission networks consist of high-voltage transmission lines that interconnect various regions and demand centers. In some areas, individual utilities operate their own transmission networks.
Batteries and the BMS are replaced by the “Energy Storage Medium”, to represent any storage technologies including the necessary energy conversion subsystem. The control hierarchy can be further generalized to include other storage systems or devices connected to the grid, illustrated in Figure 3-19.
An example is the low effi ciency in partial-load states of an internal combustion engine, which can be compensated for by the electric motor. Electric drive-trains are particularly well suited to road vehicles due to their precise response behaviour, their high effi ciency and the relatively simple handling of the energy storage.
