RENEW Scalable Energy Storage:Evaluations of Choices GRID CAPACITY Power Plant X STORAGE GRID RELIABILITY
Needs For Energy Storage • Smooth over fluctuations in regional electricity demand due to varying peak • Safety net for intermittent energy supplies such as wind, solar, seasonal variations in hydro or biomass • Means of recovering waste energy • Regulatory necessity for more reliable electricity delivery
Managing Peak Load with Storage 1000 MW 80% Load for 50 Days 216000 MWH of Storage 200% Load for 9 Days
But Peak Demand Relative to Average Is Increasing Significantly • For WECC region:
National Context: the 10% 1 Hour Goal • Consumption is now approximately at the level of 500 GW • So we need a “battery” which is 500 GW x 10% for one hour = THE 50 GWH Battery
A More Personal Scale • Individual Americans use 1.5 KWH of electricity every hour • 10% / 1 Hour objective equates to the individual requiring 150 Watt Hours of storage for one hour A 2-4 KG Battery Pack or 10 grams of gasoline! Our Consumption scale is Large
Pumped Hydro Li-Ion Flywheels CAES SMES Ultracapacitors 800 $/KW 12 $/KWH 300 $/KW 200$/KWH 350 $/KW 500$/KWH 750 $/KW 12 $/KWH 650 $/KW 1500 … 300 $/KW 3600 Choices and Estimated Costs
The 10% / 1 HR Solution • 25 Luddington Size Pumped Hydro Facilities Grid connected! • 100 Million KG of Advanced Batteries (1 Billion KG of AA’s) • 300,000 grid connected fused silica flywheels of radius 1 meter and width 0.25 meters • 300x300x300 meter cube of compressed air (one helluva scuba tank!)
Dedicated Hydrogen Production • 10% solution requires 200 million liters of hydrogen • Note that we use about 400 million gallons of gasoline a day • 10,000 1.5 MW Wind Turbines located in Western North Dakota could produce 200 million liters of hydrogen every 24 hours
Overall Conclusions • Conventional Energy Storage solutions do not scale well to solve increasing gap between average and peak loads • Flow batteries or flywheel farms may be practical for some in situ industrial applications • SMES can become a utility scale application on short timescales • Electricity + Water = Hydrogen
