1 IEA technology analysis and roadmap for energy storage Luis Munuera

2 IEA s programme of work in energy technology Where do we need to go? Where are we today? How do we get there?

3 Technology roadmaps provide answers Engage cross-section of stakeholders Identify a baseline Establish a vision Identify technical, regulatory, policy, financial, public acceptance barriers Develop implementation action items for stakeholders

4 A choice of 3 Futures 6DS/Current Policies where the world is heading under current policy with potentially devastating results 4DS/New Policies reflecting pledges by countries to cut emissions and boost energy efficiency 2DS/450 a vision of a sustainable energy system of reduced Greenhouse Gas (GHG) and CO 2 emissions The 6 C Scenario The 4 C Scenario The 2 C Scenario To achieve the 2DS, energy-related CO 2 emissions must be halved until 2050 Source: Energy Technology Perspectives, IEA 2014

5 Power sector is central for deep decarbonisation Sectors 6DS Technologies 6DS Gt CO DS DS Power generation 41% Industry 19% Transport 19% Buildings 13% Other transformation 8% End-use fuel and electricity efficiency 38% CCS 14% End-use fuel switching 9% Renewables 30% Power generation efficiency and fuel switching 2% Nuclear 7% 50/50 chance of two-degree temperature rise by 2100 requires 40% of the burden to be carried by the power sector

6 Decarbonising the global electricity sector 6DS TWh DS Other Wind Solar Hydro Nuclear Biomass and waste In the 6DS, fossil technologies continue to dominate electricity generation with a share of 66% in 2050, whereas in the 2DS more than 90% of electricity are generated from low-carbon sources (renewables, nuclear, CCS). Oil Gas Coal

7 Three pillars for low carbon transformation of power supply Technology spread 1. Geographic Let wind and spread solar play their part Design of power plants System friendly VRE 3. Take a system wide-strategic approach to investments! 2. Make better use of what you have Investments Operations Source: The Power of Transformation, IEA 2014

13 Future role of storage will defined according to its applications

14 Costs of electricity storage technologies

15 Cost of electricity storage depends on its application (1) Inter-seasonal arbitrage (120 h; 500 MW; 5 #/year) Daily price arbitrage (8 h; 300 MW; 0.75 #/day) T&D investment deferral (5 h; 100 MW; 1 #/day) PHS H2 CAES NaS LA VRB Li-ion FW PHS H2 CAES NaS LA VRB Li-ion FW PHS H2 CAES NaS LA VRB Li-ion FW Load following (1 h; 50 MW; 3 #/day) q y g ( ; ; Frequency regulation (10 min; 10 MW; 30 #/day) g ( ; ; / y) Off-grid (3 h; 5 kw; 1 #/day) PHS H2 CAES NaS LA VRB Li-ion FW PHS H2 CAES NaS LA VRB Li-ion FW PHS H2 CAES NaS LA VRB Li-ion FW Price setter LCOE

19 Analysis of storage potential in 2DS Regions/Countries: China, EU, India, US Analysed at 1h time resolution (arbitrage, load following, integration of solar PV and wind) Detailed dispatch model: 3 cases: 2DS: estimation of storage requirements Breakthrough: as 2DS plus agressive cost reductions for storage comparable to CCGT for arbitrage (e.g. LCOE of USD 90/MWh compared in EU) EV/DR: 2DS plus DR; 2DS projection of number of EVs (e.g. for the US: 45 million EVs in 2050 resulting in a total storage capacity of 1 TWh)

20 Potential for storage in key regions Attractiveness of storage is highly context-specific, but increases greatly across all scenarios Depending on the system, flexibility from demand response could provide greater returns Long-term model results for storage in 2DS 68 GW 15 GW 22 GW 53 GW

21 Key changes in wholesale price duration curve in low carbon future Avoidance of extreme prices during scarcity periods with more DR, storage Reduced curtailment, other technologies setting price during periods where low SRMC was price setter

22 GW GW Does flexibility have a value today? planning ahead for storage Total generation Conventional Wind PV GW Conventional Wind PV Medium-term: PV reduces value of pumped storage Long-term: Mutual increase of market value But long lead times for many storage projects, learning by doing Source: IEA, renewable energy division

23 Storage is one of a suite of options for providing flexibility

24 Roadmap Key Findings Storage can support energy system decarbonisation, but strategic planning required Some technologies already competitive in some applications. For biggest markets, storage still too expensive Additional R&D still needed to reduce costs, but must be targeted: key knowledge gaps Optimal role for storage varies widely across regions Power markets are ill-equipped to compensate storage for suite of services they can provide Thermal energy storage systems could make better use of wasted heat

25 Key actions over the next 10 years Economics of retrofitting existing of storage facilities Develop markets and regulatory environments that enable accelerated deployment i.e benefits-stacking Support targeted demonstration projects and R&D Establish a comprehensive set of international standards Establish international and national data co-operation Analysis required: assessments to quantify the value of storage in specific regions and energy markets

56 Example: Dispatch for a summer week in the US (EV/DR case)

57 Impact of EVs in the US (1) DR from EVs displacing storage during peak demand periods

58 Impact of EVs in the US (2)

59 Findings, limitations of analysis and future work Conclusions: Storage is an important option, but not the sole solution for flexibility needs, as it competes with other options (DR, flexible generation, grids) DR from EVs in this analysis appears attractive, but hinges on smarter grid infrastructure Key question for DR is hidden/transaction costs and uncertainty over achievable DR take-up Limitations: Flexibility from interconnections through enlarged balancing areas difficult to consider, without explicitly consider spatial system structure Uncertainty over profile of future load curves, particularly in emerging economies, coupled with difficulty of modelling individual end-uses Ideas for future work: Including investment decisions for analysis of a greenfield system Expanding DR options Including flexibility options outside of electricity sector (heat, fuels)
