Traditional use of energy storage systems
 End-user becoming Prosumers*

Increase the value of solar electricity from
PV installations
> Increase local PV energy self-consumption
> Increase autonomy = energy independency

Protection against power outages
 Grid operators (TSOs):

Peak time PV production reduction
(mid day)
> Storage enables PV injection curtailment
 Global environment impact:



Allows broader decentralized PV installations
Reduces C02 footprint
Save coal, oil and gas costs (power stations)
* Prosumers: Producers - Consumers

Autonomy = PV energy self-consumed
energy consumed
Self-consumption in South of France (Corsica)
Self-consumption of the PV energy produced – PV : 3 kWp
Level of self-consumption depends on:
6

Solar irradiation

PV system size vs. annual consumption

Battery size (kWh ) vs. PV production

User behaviour
Autonomy – PV : 3 kWp

Tertiary reserve
Time

Power deficits when :
> Electricity production and consumption are not matching (natural behavior of the grid)
> A conventional power plant breaks down
> The sun is not shining or wind is not blowing
 Electricity has to be immediately fed into the grid to keep the frequency at 50 Hertz.

Stabilizing the grid
Traditional:
Power plants
For some years now:
NEW:
Large ESS containers
Decentralized ESS

Stabilizing the grid with residential batteries in swarm

Multiple decentralized residential energy storage
systems into a large swarm*



Numerous batteries are connected through the grid in
a region
Linked together this network of small batteries makes
a large virtual storage system
Aggregators & operators / utility € benefit :

60 to 100 home batteries

BMM.
> Self-consumption equivalent to a 7 kWh storage system
– Saving up to 15 ct / kWh for self-consumption energy

For Caterva:
I
> 16 kWh / 16 kW available
– 65 ESS = 1,3 MW aggregate power for the primary reserve

 Smart Caterva ESS based on Saft li-ion technology:

Caterva automatized control system embeds Saft smart technology:
> SOC, temperatures, voltages and error status messages reported by Saft BMM are
used by Caterva automatized control system
> Saft subsystem's IEC 61508-compliance ensures a high level of safety

The swarm automatized control system allows:
> Charge / discharge of the decentralized battery swarm
> If there is a demand for additional electricity in the grid, it feeds power to the grid
> If there is an excess of electricity in the grid, it absorbs power from the grid

Load shedding


(winter period)
Combined effort of load management and storage to reduce consumption peaks
Typically 18h00-20h00 and in cases of transmission grid constraints
PV Integration
(summer period)

Management of maximized PV production on LV network

Shifting of loads (mainly hot water boilers) from night to afternoon

Storing excess of energy in batteries
Islanding

Enabling islanding of a single feeder with PV & battery
as sole power and voltage sources
Encourage consumers to adopt smarter habits in accordance with the
network state

Learnings of the field case
 Load shedding (30 min to 2h) :

Electricity consumption reduction during peak hours in the evening
> Demanding appliances cut off or run partially
– Air-conditioning (Reunion, Guadeloupe)
– Heating (Corsica)
> Possibility for the end-user to restart the heating or air-conditioning if uncomfortable
– Good acceptance of load shedding by end-user:
few used this possibility / no feeling of being uncomfortable
 Results of the load shedding:


33
700W/end-user in Corsica that is 30% their consumption (2kW on average)
300W/end-user in Reunion & Guadeloupe: 25-30% of their consumption

A bright future for energy storage
 Energy Storage Systems: a CO2 free & cost effective way of balancing the grid

Decentralized ESS in swarm
> An additional income that will speed up the development of residential battery
> Especially adapted to the German market with an installed base of 1,1 million PV installations
> A model that will widespread in other countries and is already existing like in the U.S.A

MW ESS containers
 Assets of ESS for grid services




Avoid grid costs upgrades
Better local integration of renewables
Voltage, frequency & peak control
Contribution to network flexibility
 Future incentives or even regulations will take grid services into account

35
In the Bavarian region, there is a project of supporting smart batteries systems with smart
