Energy storage technology is recognized as an underpinning technology to have great potential in coping with a high proportion of renewable power integration and
Global energy storage technology and energy software services provider Fluence and ACE Engineering have opened a new automated battery storage manufacturing facility in Vietnam''s Bac Giang Province.
There are several energy storage models, each requiring different approaches to product definitions and performance parameters. The most prevalent model appears to be storage combined with a solar project, where the two are treated as a single system. Therefore, the power contract covers both. There is a natural synergy.
For standalone energy storage contracts, these are typically structured with a fixed monthly capacity payment plus some variable cost per megawatt hour (MWh) of throughput. For a combined renewables-plus-storage project, it may be structured with an energy-only price in lieu of a fixed monthly capacity payment.
Station Use: “Station use” energy refers to energy that is required for the operation of an energy generation or storage resource in order for such resource to operate. For certain types of resources the station load can be significant.
Some PPAs for new energy storage resources have been structured as capacity-only contracts in which the developer is responsible for the sale of energy and all costs associated therewith—including the costs of the required energy procured from the utility.
The PPA will need to be clear regarding the rights to each product and service if a single offtaker will not be entitled to all of the multiple revenue streams. To date, there is a lack of clear precedent about how energy storage units are to be regulated under the Federal Power Act.
Operating Limitations: Energy storage resources may be subject to operational constraints that do not affect traditional generation projects. For example, certain battery technologies will degrade more quickly if the state of charge is not actively managed within a certain range.
