Introduction: Wind Resource Map in Japan Maximizing renewable is a key political agenda in Japan after Fukushima Onshore Offshore Hokkaido : 139.6 GW (49%) Hokkaido : 403.0 GW (26%) Tohoku : 72.6 GW (26%) Tohoku : 224.8 GW (14%) Kyushu : 20.9 GW (7.4%) Kyushu : 454.6 GW (29%) Total Potential: 282.9 GW Total Potential: 1572.6 GW Wind Resource Wind Speed Wind Resource Wind Speed (Note) Total utility capacityin Japan: 202 GW (Source) Ministry of Environment
Objective • Maximum potential of installable wind power in Japan amounts to about 280 GW in onshore and around 1600 GW in offshore which is together equal to more than 9 times of Japan’s peak demand (around 200 GW) • Thus in Japan, immense potential of wind power generation, 9 times of the peak demand, is expected to be exploited for the future • This study investigates the potential of wind resource which could be systematically integrated into Japanese power generation mix, using a high time-resolution optimal power generation mix model Wind resource potential in Japan (Source) Ministry of the Environment in Japan, “Study of Potential for the Introduction of Renewable Energy(FY 2010)”, April 2011

Assumption of Cost and Technical Data • Advantage of NAS battery • Abundant component resource (Na, S) availability • High energy density (3 times as Lead) • High charge and discharge efficiency • Long lifetime, No self-discharge • Maintenance is simple • Disadvantage of NAS battery • Heating system to maintain 300 degrees is required • Component materials such as Na are flammable
Estimation of Wind Output by using Japanese Metrological Database (AMeDAS*) *Automated Meteorological Data Acquisition System Wind output is estimated from data in 1,300 weather observation sites of Japan. Tohoku region in Dec. 2007 (Actual & estimated output)
Wind output in Japan • In Japan, the majority of onshore wind resources concentrate on Hokkaido and Tohoku regions (North part of Japan). • The whole pattern of wind output in Japan is calculated using a weighted average of the derived regional wind power output in the amount of regional wind resources. • Wind velocity is higher in winter & spring and lower in summer. Wind output of Japan in 365 days at 10 minutes’ interval
PV output in Japan • Time profile of PV is estimated by solar irradiance model with meteorological observation data including sunshine duration, precipitation and ambient temperature. • Solar insolation intensity is higher in summer, lower in winter Annual capacity factor of PV PV output in 365 days at 10 minutes’ interval
Power Generation Mix • As installed wind power expands in Japan’s electricity system, wind mainly replaces thermal power generation, while the suppression control of wind power generation increases. • Rechargeable NAS battery technology is not so much introduced, even in the massive penetration of wind power, mainly due to its more expensive cost compared with other measures such as the suppression control and quick load following of thermal power plant such as LNG combined cycle. • Wind power integration in power generation mix becomes incrementally saturated, and the suppression control of wind power considerably increases as installed wind expands in the grid.

Wind Integration into the Grid • When wind capacity is integrated at more than a half of the scale of the peak demand or the fraction of wind power generation in total electricity demand exceeds around 20 percent, the ratio of suppressed wind power shows a significant increase • On wind installed capacity at the same, double and triple of the peak demand, the ratio of suppressed output in total wind power generation shows 20%, 40% and 60% respectively. Breakdown of wind power: wind output into the grid and its suppression 0.2
Monthly Optimal Dispatch (May) (Wind is installed at 200GW, accounting for the same scale of peak demand, 30% of total electricity demand) • Renewable variability is technically controlled by energy storage technology such as pumped-hydro, load following operation by thermal power plant and the output suppression control of wind power. A variety kind of measures dynamically function as a whole to control the short-cycle variation of wind output. • In May when wind intensity is higher, elaborate suppression control is required. In August when wind intensity is lower, suppression is not required. • ⇒Controlling seasonal imbalance is indispensable under massive penetration of wind power.

Suppression Control (Curtailment) of Wind (Wind is installed at 200GW, accounting for the same scale of peak demand, 30% of total electricity demand) • Suppression rate of wind in Japan tends to become higher in winter and spring seasons, because wind velocity remains higher while the level of electricity demand is modest at those seasons. • By contrast, summer season reveals the lower curtailment rate due to the lower wind intensity. • In May, monthly-average wind suppression rate is observed to show 80%.
Load Factor of LNG Combined Cycle • Load factor of LNG combined cycle goes significantly down in winter and spring season when wind velocity shows higher intensity • LNGCC appears to be not profitable under massive wind penetration. Who will do investment in building LNGCC ? Wind: 5GW Wind: 200GW (the same scale of peak demand, 30% of total electricity demand)
Sensitivity Analysis on Battery Cost • Five cases are supposed about the battery cost. Japanese official roadmap sets a target of reducing the battery cost by 90% until 2030 from the current technical level. • Sensitivity analysis of battery cost shows that lower battery cost increases the installed battery capacity and decreases the suppression control of wind power, which suggests that the reason of wind power suppression instead of storing its surplus output in the battery is attributable to the higher cost of rechargeable NAS battery.

Installed Battery Capacity • As the battery cost decreases, its kWh(energy)-capacity represents more rapid growth compared with its kW-capacity. • In the battery cost 90% reduction case, the ratio of kWh-capacity to kW-capacity amounts to around 30 hours, which suggests that NAS battery is introduced to charge the surplus wind power in a longer time interval, such as on a weekly basis. • Preparation of sufficient energy capacity (kWh) is required for realizing a massive integration of wind power in the grid. Power capacity (kW) Energy capacity (kWh)
SOC (state of charge) of Battery (Wind is installed at 300GW, accounting for 1.5 times the peak demand, 50% of total electricity demand) • NAS battery is installed for storing surplus wind power chiefly in a weekly scale. • Energy loss of NAS battery is huge in a weekly scale of the battery operation. Battery cost scenario: -50% (Wind: 300GW, NAS battery: 79GW/579GWh) Battery Pumped-hydro May 1 May 31 Battery cost scenario: -90% (Wind: 300GW, NAS battery: 79GW/579GWh) Battery Pumped-hydro May 1 May 31
Technical Compatibility between Wind and Battery Wind intermittency in Japan shows a long-cycle variation ⇒Energy loss of rechargeable NAS battery becomes larger ⇒NAS battery is less technical compatibility with wind power Wind output through a year at 10-minute interval Output[p.u.]
Concluding Remarks • Wind output is suppressed when it is massively integrated • When wind capacity is integrated at more than a half of the scale of the peak demand or the fraction of wind power generation in total electricity demand exceeds around 20 percent, the ratio of suppressed wind power shows a significant increase (wind power is curtailed). • Rechargeable battery is an expensive option • Battery is too expensive to control the intermittency, and a long-cycle variation of wind output prevents the massive introduction of rechargeable battery for compensating the wind variability. • Reason of wind suppression is due to the high battery cost • Lower battery cost increases the installed battery capacity and decreases the suppression rate of wind power, which suggests that the reason of wind power suppression instead of storing its surplus output in the battery is attributable to the high cost of NAS battery.
