24 Storage Application Energy Shifting: Can Address Curtailments of Renewable Energy Sources ERCOT has curtailed wind since 2008 Close to 17% of wind generation was curtailed in 2010 Various approaches/upgrades have reduced this in 2011 Source: NREL 23 23

25 Storage Application Energy Shifting: Can Address Curtailments of Renewable Energy Sources Example MISO (data as of 2012) Wind sometimes has to be manually curtailed for operational reasons (e.g., congestion events, minimum load issues) New rules for renewables to partly address this issue (dispatchable renewables) Source, MISO,

26 Storage Application Energy Shifting: Can Address Curtailments of Renewable Energy Sources Example Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) Started curtailments in 2009, and continue until now BPA curtails wind during periods of high water flows in the Columbia River BPAisforced to route water through turbines because spilling the water over spillways would have increased total dissolved gasses to a level that would endanger salmon Wind producers files complaint with FERC FERC issued order to address situation BPA issued protocol for reimbursing developers for lost revenue FERC is reviewing protocol 25 25

29 Storage Application Ancillary Services: New Proposed FERC Rules will Provide Additional Incentives Storage technologies often can respond faster to shifts in loads than fossil fuel plants Under current rules, storage developers often can t get paid as it is not a recognized asset FERC s aims to revise existing market rules that have largely excluded storage from markets Proposal also plans to reward faster service and accuracy energy storage can provide over traditional technologies with a higher price Slow Response Steam Unit MISO 2011 Prices for Ancillary Services Fast Response Combined Cycle 28 28

30 Storage Application Ancillary Services: Electric Vehicles Might Contribute to this Service Controlled charging could contribute to energy shifting as well as energy smoothing Vehicle to Grid (V2G) is an electric vehicle equipped with communications interface Control signals are sent from the grid operator to manage the flow of energy between the vehicle and the grid Direct load control (similar to AC programs) With true bi directional flow capability, vehicles could provide ancillary grid services Frequency control, regulation and spinning reserves tal Load [MW] Tot 180, , ,000 90,000 60,000 WECC April 2020 Aggressive PHEV Case: Smart Charging PHEV Aggressive Smart Baseload Base + PHEV Aggressive Smart 30,000 25,000 20,000 15,000 10,000 PH HEV Load [MW] 30,000 5, Source: Kempton et al (2008) 29
