Flexible generation needed

– Mediate supply and load in locations with high renewables

– Positive impact on GHG emission targets

IN LAST 5 YEARS:

Non-renewables: 43 GW

Renewables: 55 GW

FROM 2009 - 2017:

Wind/solar account

for ~50% of

utility-scale additions.

Permitting and installation of new grid infrastructure

– Challenging in many areas

Wide deployment of electric vehicles is

driving battery prices to decline.

Utilities focus on electricity system:

• Reliability: withstand uncontrolled events

• Security: withstand attacks (physical, cyber)

• Resilience: adapt to changing conditions and

recover from disruptions

Non-residential (C&I) customers:

• Accounted for 63% of electricity sold in 2017

• Account for ~13% of utility customer base

• Rate schedules typically include demand

charges that can account for 70% of electricity

costs

Significantly reduce electricity

demand charges

Right-size BESS to optimize

project ROI

Potential use-cases to consider

at your facility:

• TOU shifting

• Solar-firming

• Frequency/voltage support

• Microgrid support

The maximum savings per month is a function of maximum BESS discharge rate

With a smaller capacity battery:

– Choice of discharge point determines savings

– Increase discharge rate to increase savings

Limiting factors:

– Maximum discharge rate (MW)

– Total battery capacity (MWh)

– Accuracy of peak forecast
