Wood Mackenzie Power & Renewables Breakfast Briefing II: Battery and Non-Batt...Nicole Green
Storage system prices have declined by more than 60% since 2012 and are expected to decline by another 30% over the next five years. Historically battery prices drove the bulk of system price declines, but in the future both battery prices and non-battery components like inverters, software & controls, and design, engineering and construction services will drive system price reductions. Where will the market see most savings? How will the vendor landscape evolve over the course of the next five years, as the storage industry collectively targets bringing down system prices further.
2017 Strategic Directions: Electric Industry Survey Black & Veatch
The annual Black & Veatch Strategic Directions: Electric Industry Report explores progress made across the power generation and delivery sectors, with an eye toward their evolving landscapes. Over the last year, the sector has adapted to ongoing changes — the proliferation of renewable energy, a changing regulatory outlook and heightened focus on investment, infrastructure and regulation — all while navigating familiar but pressing challenges related to reliability and resilience.
The industry is charting its path forward by integrating advanced
technologies, accommodating growing amounts of distributed energy resources exploring the possibilities created by energy storage. To their benefit, electric utilities are increasingly embracing new technology, understanding that data is critical because it will allow them to prioritize efforts, commit funding and allocate resources in a strategic manner.
Reliance on coal-fired power generation continues to give way to inexpensive and abundant natural gas, as well as increasing amounts of renewable energy from solar and wind.
The 2017 Strategic Directions: Electric Industry Report examines how utility leaders are navigating these challenges — both old and new — and advancing for future growth. The report also addresses potential hurdles that may impede success.
Concerns persist over security, aging infrastructure, environmental regulation and the management of long-term
investments that will force utility leaders to innovate and meeting shifting customer demands.

Utilities Global Market Report 2015 Released By The Business Research Company
http://www.thebusinessresearchcompany.com/our-research/utilities/utilities-global-market-briefing/
Utilities Global Market provides strategists, marketers and senior management with the critical information they need to assess the global Utilities sector.
The total value of the utilities sector globally in 2014 was $3,676 billion. Related to a world population of more than 7 billion in 2014 this equates to about $525 per person globally. Given that World Domestic Product was approximately $78 trillion in 2014, the market makes up about 4.7% of the global economy.
83% of households globally were supplied with electricity in 2013. Urban electrification was 95% whereas, rural electrification stood at 70%. The average annual rate of electrification in developing countries increased by 3.7% in 2014.
Global natural gas production was 3500 Bcm (Billion cubic meters) and grew by 1.6% in 2014. The highest level of natural gas consumption was by China (8.6%) followed by Iran (6.8%).
The utilities industry is one of the largest and fastest growing industries in the world. The term utilities refers to electricity, natural gas, water and sewerage services consumed by the public, hospitals, schools and other institutions, agriculture, factories and commercial establishments. In some countries these services are provided commercially by national, state or municipal governments or by cooperatives; in many, however, they are provided by the private sector.
Electric utility companies engage in the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity. They source coal from mining companies and heavy oil distillates from oil companies for power generation. Some also source power from sustainable energy sources and nuclear power stations for distribution. The power generated is transmitted over long distances to transformers in substations. The electricity from the substation is then delivered to commercial and residential customers, in some cases along a national or state grid. The market for electricity is often a regulated one. Natural gas businesses deal with the storage, transmission and distribution of gas. In this report we are dealing with the companies engaged in transmission and distribution of natural gas. Natural gas utility companies are either privately held or run by state/national governments. They source gas from oil and gas exploration companies for distribution. The gas is stored in storage tanks, then distributed through high capacity interstate and intrastate pipelines to households, commercial and business establishments and to power plants which use it for generating electricity. The market for gas is often a regulated one.
Key Drivers for Energy Storage
Technological advancements and decrease in costs
Evolution of utility needs (rise of variable renewable generation)
Increasing customer choice and engagement
Policy and regulatory shifts
Five market trends that are re-shaping C&I energy management and procurementOmar Saadeh
The market for building energy management and procurement solutions is vast and today’s large electricity customers are exposed to an increasingly complex array of opportunities.

Using human-centred design to improve energy efficiency programsLeonardo ENERGY
Human-centred design is being used to make the NSW energy savings scheme more effective. We started with research that identified six key insights for improved scheme operation. It found that the scheme is complex and its fragmented tools and systems create unnecessary barriers to entry. We then used workshops to develop six corresponding opportunities for improved service delivery. To scale up we need streamlined manual processes, more collaboration and improved digital systems. This is especially relevant given recent announcements that the scheme is being extended to 2050.
This talk will present the research, and will place it in the context of changes announced as part of the NSW Energy Strategy. It will explore small, medium and long term changes to scheme delivery identified through the HCD process and our proposed next steps.
The NSW Energy Savings Scheme started in 2009. It has so far delivered projects that will save 27,000 gigawatt hours of energy and $5.6 billion in bill savings over their lifetimes.

Future proofing energy storage - a greensmith white paper (EN)Finnish_Energy_Hub
Energy storage has reached a turning point as a mainstream grid-reliability resource. The United States achieved another year of record deployments in 2016, and forecasts show continued rapid expansion of the energy storage industry. At the same time, the investment case for storage is still difficult due to risks of limited technology track record and business cases that rely on uncertain revenues. Due to rapidly changing grid dynamics and the long life required of storage assets, energy storage owners must future-proof their investments today.
To future-proof energy storage, storage developers must employ technology and project engineering specifically designed for flexibility. Future-proofing also requires commercial agreements and analytical expertise to optimize the operational value of energy storage.
Presentation by Bushveld Energy from the March 2019 Power Electricity & World Africa conference in South Africa. The presentation covers four questions:
1) How does storage technology integrate with energy generation and then with renewables ?
2) What are the key critical success factors that relate to the development of an energy storage project ?
3) Is there a greenfield pipeline of bankable projects?
4) Who is likely to finance these assets?
Introduction
Sun is the main source of life and prosperous to mankind
and organism at all times from ancient era to modern age.
The solar energy emanating from the sun, by virtue of its
unlimited resources, always proves it can compete with
other conventional depleted resources. This is evident, as
the world has seen recently, the solar technology advanced
enough to unveil the scale of benefits; when utilizing full
potential. Generation from wind is complementing the
efforts from solar generation and competing favorably in
countries with sufficient wind blows. NREL-National
Renewable Energy Lab, US predicated that the cost of solar
and wind generation, to be the lowest cost in near future
compared to other generations and share 1000 GW
worldwide.
1. Challenges with Generation
Integration
PV and CSP maximum instantaneous generation depends
on how much sunlight is available at any given instant, which
makes their generation variable (VRE) and difficult to predict.
VRE can be installed in bulk at utility level or at commercial
and industrial buildings or at homes. Utility solar generations
can be located in areas with less loads and their energy needs
to be transmitted to load centers. Operation of variable solar
Presentation to the annual UCLA Smart Grid research collaborative discussing the operational considerations of an increasing hybrid electric system involving millions of customers participating.
Energy storage has been in use in our society and daily life for decades. Although energy storage has not grown to be a significant part of the electric energy system, recent advancement of energy storage technologies and growing needs for energy storage in both power and transportation sectors make it possible and imperative to accelerate energy storage development, deployment, and adoption. Power systems have to balance electricity generation and consumption in real-time, gasoline and diesel fuel are still the primary sources of energy for transportation, and we generally do not have good ways to conveniently and cost-effectively store a large amount of electrical energy and use it in an on-demand manner. While we need to continue decarbonizing electric power generation through increases in renewable generation, we also need to address transportation as the main source of carbon emissions. Energy storage is an important solution to address both electrification of transportation and other industries and the variability in renewable energy such as wind and solar generation.
Bulk of the existing grid energy storage capacity is provided by pumped hydro energy storage plants that were built to support large baseload power plants such as nuclear generating stations. Battery energy systems are beginning to be deployed at a rapid pace. The requirements of energy storage in the electric grid are still evolving and may differ from those of electrical transportation. Needs for research and development to enhance energy storage performance and knowledge is summarized in the following areas:
1) Energy storage engineering and integration: Effective system integration is a challenging problem for energy storage due to the great diversity of potential applications ranging from behind-the-meter storage to large grid-connected energy storage plants. Each of these applications has its own set of constraints and performance requirements. Over the next decade, the diversity of energy storage installations will expand in the range of applications, in size and scale, and in system complexity. Effective integration is also important to achieve desired cost reduction needed to support large scale deployment. Research gaps in this area include: energy storage installations with higher power capacities and higher working voltages; streamlining engineering to hybridize and co-optimize energy storage with the rest of the system; more effective controls, sensors, and energy management systems; designing modular power converter architecture to minimize system complexity, improve reliability, and reduce integration costs; and industry standards for secure communication and interoperability.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
3. Why This Report?
The emergence of grid storage is expected to facilitate greater renewable energy generation and
promote the evolution of a smarter electrical grid. While some studies have reported on the feasibility
and economics behind the variousgrid storage technologies such as lithium ion or compressed air energy
storage, critical questions concerning suitability, installation costs, and opportunities remain
unanswered. In this report, ClearSky Advisors provides not only a comprehensive analysis of key grid
storage technologies and applications but also a detailed forecast for their growth.
Executive Summary
As jurisdictions around the world set ambitious goals for the proportion of electricity that will be
generatedbyvariablerenewablesourcessuchaswindandsolar,utilitiesandgridoperatorsarebecoming
increasingly aware of the challenges that this new generation will pose to existing grid infrastructure.
One of the primary ways to mitigate these challenges is to incorporate more storage capability on the
grid to:
a) dispatch renewable generation during times of high demand
b) provide a more steady and smooth source of electricity that does not tax existing grid
infrastructure
As of Q1, 2013 there is 20,738MW of grid storage power capacity servicing the US grid. Currently the
majority of this storage power capacity (99%) is comprised of pumped hydro storage. While pumped
hydro willcontinue to playa large role in energy storage,ClearSkyAdvisorsexpects that the next 10years
will see three-fold higher installations of non-traditional mechanical and battery-based storage
technology than traditional pumped storage.
Grid Storage Technologies:
1. Pumped Hydro Storage
2. Non-traditional Mechanical Storage
a. Flywheel
b. Compressed Air Energy Storage
3. Battery Storage
a. Advanced Lead Acid
b. Lithium Ion
c. Zinc Bromine
d. Sodium Sulfur
Grid Storage Applications:
1. Distributed Energy Storage Systems
2. Commercial and Industrial Applications
3. Transmission and Distribution Support
4. Frequency Regulation
5. Bulk Storage Applications
Applications can be combined in order to form systems
capable of performing multiple tasks (e.g., wholesale
energy arbitrage with regulation, local capacity, and
transmission benefits)

4. The forecast data presented in this report is based on analysis using ClearSky Advisors’ Dynamic
Forecasting Tool (DFT). The DFT is a proprietary model designed to calculate the economic viability of
electricity generation or storage technology in a given region, and based on that economic calculation,
determine the volume of adoption of that technology within the region. The DFT is informed by more
than 140 inputs describing average current local conditions for a particular technology and grid
application, policy rules that influence the economic attractiveness of facilities, and assumptions for how
these factors will change over the course of the forecast period.
Using the DFT, ClearSky Advisors has modeled 189 different scenarios across:
13 different grid storage applications
9 different technologies
3 different scenario classes (High, Expected, and Low)
Combining these modeling scenarios into three broad categories and incorporating the schedule of
known planned projects results in a 10-year forecast of 28.2 – 47.0 GW of grid storage power capacity by
2022. The 10-year compound annual growth rates (CAGR) for each scenario are:
9.3% - High Case
6.3% - Expected Case
3.4% - Low Case
Excluding the pumped hydro market, the growth rates (CAGR) for each scenario will result in an increase
to between 37.9%-45.3%. The following graph shows the annual installations for the expected case
scenario. Complete segmentation of this data by technology and application can be found in the full
report.
Due to their flexibility, we anticipate that over the 10-year forecast period, market opportunities for
battery technologies (i.e., advanced lead acid, lithium ion, and zinc bromine) will be greater than those
for mechanicaltechnologies(i.e.,pumpedhydro, and compressedair energystorage). ClearSky Advisors
expects that overall growth in this sector will continue to accelerate beyond 2022.
Segmentation:
1. Advanced lead acid
2. Lithium ion

Annual US Grid Storage Installations - Expected
5. The modeling scenarios also consider the market opportunities for grid storage facilities with individual
grid applications as well as facilities comprised of multiple/combination applications. The following two
graphs show the modeled expected case annual installations for each. Complete segmentation by
combination application and individual application can be found in the full report.
With greater revenue opportunities,
combination applications are more
economically viable but have greater local
requirements (i.e., there are fewer locations
requiring such combinations of grid storage
services). As a result, markets for combination
applications are expected to take off early but
will become saturated more quickly compared
with individual applications.
There are numerous factors that will determine
precisely how US grid storage markets will
evolve over the next 10 years. The following
table summarizes the primary factors currently
driving and restraining grid storage markets.
