Webinar Content:
With the market for energy storage evolving quickly in many places around the world, operators of Energy Storage Systems (ESS) need flexibility to respond to changing market conditions, so as to maximize ROI despite growing market uncertainty. Flexibility is vital for facing challenges such as the growing prevalence of short-term contracts, changes to technical rules and responding to new opportunities for additional revenue.
In this webinar, Michael Lippert, Director Innovation and Solutions for Energy at Saft will explore:
- Three tactics that ESS operators can deploy to remain flexible: specifying an ESS solution that can adapt to changing operational profiles; scalability to increase energy and power over time; and securing guarantees that are flexible enough to cover your ESS as its operation pattern evolves
- Saft’s experience of utility-scale ESS installations to show how operators can implement these solutions
- Key factors providing certainty in the operational capabilities and limits of an ESS and power conversion equipment working in unison. Flexible performance requires a good understanding and control of interdependent performance factors such as available State of Charge (SOC) range, power over lifetime, energy throughput and energy efficiency
- The technical challenge in combining new and existing strings of batteries and how to achieve this with electronic control
- The role of system modelling to anticipate the ageing of batteries in the field and the use of remote monitoring to evaluate lifetime performance
- The design philosophy behind France’s largest battery energy storage project providing 25 MWh energy storage capacity and 25 MW power
- How Saft has configured the ESS to respond to different use cases during its life
