Storage technologies & applications – A system perspective
19 October 2016
On T-level PHS is the only mature technology already delivering different services but facing constrained(1) business case
Batteries are already commercial and installed mainly at D-level, but today with limited energy storage(2)
Power-to-Gas, can have the potential of managing weekly / seasonal variability of RES
Power-to-Heat can be of interest for distributed storage
Flywheels, SMES, supercapacitors can be of use in weak / isolated systems
Technologies
PHS: Pumped-Hydro Storage, PSP: Pumped Storage Plant; T-level: Transmission level, D-level: Distribution level
(1) For new capacities, difficult to find a positive business case; for existing capacities, reduced profitability in current op. strategies (2) Batteries are becoming profitable in some countries for providing high-value ancillaries such as frequency containment reserves

Storage technologies & applications – A system perspective
System needs
19 October 2016
We need to manage the increasing amounts of variable renewables, in different time-frames: Daily cycles, for which PHS already contributes and batteries will progressively contribute … but also weekly / seasonal cycles for which today appropriate storage technologies (e.g. Power to
Gas) are not yet fully available
PHS: Pumped-Hydro Storage, PSP: Pumped Storage Plant;
Source: 50Hertz
Transmission infrastructure and interconnections are and will be needed to transport bulk energy from renewables Storage is and will be part of the solution mainly to provide flexibility to the system and market, and support emergence of new applications (e.g. electromobility)

Storage technologies & applications – A system perspective
Applications
19 October 2016
Arbitrage: Due to RES, historic difference in prices between day & night is eroding, and eroding profitability of this op. strategy
Portfolio mgmt.: Important tool for BRPs to maintain a balanced portfolio, but today accessed by single/few players
Energy mgmt.: Gaining interest, in particular self-consumption, due to decentralisation. However, need to avoid that system cost are born by fewer consumers
Frequency regulation: Expected increase in need for operating reserves (aFRR, mFRR), as well as increasing reservation costs (from gas-fired plants). Today batteries provide FCR, while PHS provide ‘slow ‘ reserves
Other services can be provided such as black-start and voltage support (already provided by some PHS), congestion mgmt. and possibly invest. deferral
New services: E.g. like ‘fast’ FCR / ‘synthetic inertia’ for weakly interconnected / isolated systems
FCR: Frequency Containment Reserves: aFRR & mFRR: automated & manually-activated Frequency Restoration Reserves
Energy Services Ancillary Services Reliability services
Storage assets can have value as providers of security of supply. o At local level for ensuring
continuity of supply for consumers in remote locations (e.g. via batteries) or high value applications (e.g. data centres)
o At system level, storage could be a contributor to adequacy in capacity mechanisms competing with other technologies (e.g. generation, demand-response)
Storage needs to find value in different applications according to their technical capabilities

Storage technologies & applications – A system perspective
Possible way forward
19 October 2016
Find value in different timeframes, specially towards the short-term (e.g. intra-day) to cover for RES forecasting errors
Investigate mechanisms allowing different / all players to access available storage capacity to balance their portfolios
Develop enhanced market mechanisms to further promote players to actively contribute to the balancing using centralised and aggregated energy resources
Need for flexible assets capable of providing different kinds of services are key. For instance variable PHS is candidate tech.
Develop mechanisms to source services from aggregated energy resources
Further work on more dynamic sizing & sourcing (timeframes) for AS, and for enabling cross-border sourcing (e.g. frequency regulation) and sourcing new services (e.g. ‘fast’ FCR)
Find value in services for high-value applications (e.g. hospitals, data centres,…) and remote locations to provide additional revenues –for (decentralised) storage
Investigate & enable access to capacity markets allowing storage to contribute to system adequacy and earn additional revenue stream
Energy Services Ancillary Services Reliability services
Need to further investigate technologies & innovative models facilitating multi-objective operation. Apart from market-driven business models, regulated business models allowing system operators to access needed ancillary
services and/or allowing access of storage capacity to entire market(*) should be investigated (*) As for instance today TSOs do with their interconnections

Conclusions
19 October 2016
• System benefits of PSP are significant • high RES scenario (80% RES)
• short term: €1bn p.a. • long term: €13bn p.a.
• Fundamental value of storage is higher in the higher RES scenario • Drivers:
• Reduction of system capacity in the short-term • Savings in OPEX in the long-term (higher RES)
• Upgrading the storage with variable-speed drive enhances the benefits of the storage by 10% - 20% in the long run (2050).
• The main benefit of the upgrade comes from the improvement of efficiency while at the same time enables PSP to provide frequency regulation during pumping mode.
• Integration of balancing market may reduce the value of variable-speed PSP • Higher value for a weak interconnected system
• Bulk PSP competes with other flexible technologies especially DSR

VS PSP operational profits – base cases
Operational profits = spot and balancing market revenues minus operational cost (e.g. VO&M).
Expected value is range of 12 to 18 M€/year.
Increase in installed RES capacity increases price volatility and therefore operational profits
Impact of increase in transmission is mixed: sharing of balancing needs
Increasing competition from DSM, EVs towards 2050.

VS PSP operational profits – incr balancing market
Operational profits = spot and balancing market revenues minus operational cost (e.g. VO&M).
Development of balancing market is uncertain.
Increasing the spread between spot and balancing market price increases operational profits up to 80 M€/yr.
Impact depends on the balancing market characteristics. (Base case corresponds to current balancing markets.)
• Germany: wide range in balancing prices
• France & Belgium: sharp distribution, arbitrage between spot and balancing

VS PSP New build – Overall business case
Distribution of annuitized NPV for Germany in 2030 after taking into account investment costs and risks.
• 2030 – Yellow base scenario: operational profits are insufficient to cover overall costs 76% probability of negative NPV.
• 2030 – Yellow & balancing price spread x4: increase in operational profits is sufficient for positive NPV
o Expected annuitized NPV: 33.1 M€/year
o Width in NPV distribution is larger compared to base case due to large spread in operation profits.
• Range in expected value for annuitized NPV for VS PSP from 2030-Yellow base scenario to balancing price x4 France: -9 to +50 M€/year Belgium: -8 to +47 M€/year

Results VS PSP conversion
Value of storage for participation in competitive electricity markets
VS PSP conversion
Comparing the VS PSP annuitized NPV to the regular fixed-speed PSP NPV, we determined the impact of the PSP to VS PSP conversion on the annuitized NPV (i.e. difference in PSP and VS PSP annuitized NPV)
Current balancing markets: no significant opportunities. Impact of increasing balancing market price spread differs per country, due to different balancing market characteristics.

Results VS PSP conversion
Value of storage for participation in competitive electricity markets
Expected increase in annuitized NPV from a fixed-speed to variable speed PSP conversion - Belgium
Distribution of change in annual profit for Belgium in 2030 for a conversion
• 2030 – Yellow base scenario: small positive expected value: 1.3 M€/year (77% probability on positive NPV)
• 2030 – Yellow & balancing price spread x4:
o Large increase in operational profits due to added flexibility of the pump (larger share of revenues from balancing while pumping than German or French case)
o Strong positive business case for this scenario: 19 M€/year (11 to 25 M€/year) annuitized NPV

Conclusion
Value of storage for participation in competitive electricity markets
New build
• The operational profits of a new-build VS-PSP are in the range of 13 to 18 M€/year in base case.
• In base case scenarios there is no profitable business case.
• The balancing price distributions strongly impact the operational profit distribution (e.g. balancing price spread of x4 improves the annuitized profits of more than 50M€)
Conversion
• VS PSP has higher operational profits due to increasing flexibility in pumping mode.
• In base case scenarios there is already a profitable business case.
• Higher balancing prices (to x4) lead to annuitized profits of more than 20M€ (at 49M€ conversion cost).
Country specifics
• The most attractive business case for conversion is to be found in Belgium.
• France and Belgium show comparable business cases for new build.
• German shows large width in operational profit distribution due to large spread in balancing prices.
Open issues
• Future balancing prices key in flexibility revenues but are also very uncertain
• Additional revenues from stacking services (FCR, intraday and congestion management,…), ownership model and portfolio benefits
