  1. eStorage First Annual Workshop Arnhem, NL 30, Oct. 2013 Olivier Teller

  2. Energy challenges for the 21st century 30 Oct., 2013 Geopolitics tensions Global warming Governments want to secure their reserves and achieve energy independence. Increase in prices The EC 20-20-20 package aims to increase the share of renewable energies to 20% in the European energy mixby 2020.

  3. Grid operators & the constraint of intermittent renewables 30 Oct., 2013 GRID CHALLENGES • Gridoperators • Balance the supply & demand of electricity • Constantly control gridparameters (voltage, frequency…) to avoidoutages. • Solar & wind power • Intermittent • No direct storage solution • Impact gridstability • Not optimized, often a loss of a free GHG-free power Increaseregulationcapacity Faster plant regulation Store renewable power producedwhen not enoughdemand

  4. A reliable large-scalestoragesolution: Pumped Hydro Storage Plants (PSPs) 30 Oct., 2013

  5. ImprovingPSPs: Variable speed technology 30 Oct., 2013 Fixed speed Variable speed • Benefits: • Additionalflexibility: frequencyregulation possible in both modes • Increased performance: increased turbine life, higheroperationmode

  6. eStorage Our goal is to deploy variable speed PSPsacross the EU and to enhancegrid management systems to improverenewableenergymanagement. A EC-funded consortium Energy companies 3 2 Consulting firms 1 University

  7. European PSP installed Fleet 30 Oct., 2013 Installed power 40,000 MW >30 year old by 2020: Huge opportunity for upgrade 30,000 MW 20,000 MW 10,000 MW 1930 1952 1957 1962 1967 1972 1977 1982 1987 1992 1997 2006 YearCommissioning

  8. eStorage Project - Objectives Demonstrate technical & economic feasibility of upgrading an existing PSP to variable speed technology Enhance the functionality of IT systems to develop grid management solutions in line with real time market systems Propose changes to the market and regulatory frameworks and support appropriate business models for flexible energy storage Develop and assess technologies which enables additional capacity for flexible load balancing by upgrading European pumped storage plants

  9. eStorage focus PSP upgrade to variable speed Smart energy networks and IT tools Grid management in line with real time markets Unit test at Le Cheylas, France Storage benefits, regulatoryframework & market design Results exploitation Highlight the value of PSPs to encourage theirdevelopment Conversion of 75% of the 40 GW of PSPsinstalled in the EU to variable speed

  10. eStoragebenefits all electricitystakeholders

  11. Conclusion • The integration of renewable power generation requires large investments for further development of the transmission and distribution infrastructure • New facilities for production, storage, distribution and consumption must support a higher flexibility of the entire electrical energy system • Common and clear market rules and associated incentive schemes have to be developed to enable the necessary investments • In the eStorage project the feasibility of a flexible large-scale energy storage in combination with an innovative market approach will be demonstrated
