Siemens Hybrid Power Solutions Technical and Financial Simulation Tools for High Penetration Hybrid Power Systems, Bangkok June 2015 Instrumentation, Controls & Electrical
Overview 1. Applications 2. High Renewable Energy Penetration 3. Tools 4. Customer Benefits Page 2
Applications Focus on sophisticated solutions On-Grid, Renewables unlimited On-Grid, weak grid application * Performance Guarantees On-Grid, with forecasting * Off-Grid * Page 3 * applications with High Renewable Energy (RE) penetration
High Renewable Energy Penetration What does it mean? RE power compared to current load Annual RE energy production Page 4 Low RE penetration Medium RE penetration High RE penetration < 20% 20-70 % 70-160 % 5 10 % 10-20 % 20-60 %
High Renewable Energy Penetration It makes sense Ideal conditions Page 5 Medium irradiation Low irradiation

This example is based on a PV park, wind parks and combinations are also possible Page 15
Benefit of Simulation Tools for Customers Why should simulations tools for technical and economical optimization being used instead of standardized hybrid power blocks, e.g. 4MW DGS + 4MW Wind + 4MW/2MWh Storage? Pro: technically possible, as long as Maximum load is less than DGS power No large consumer in operation Con: most probably no economical business case Too high investment and operation costs related to what is really needed (=load) No consideration of alternatives like PV, hydro or biomass which could lead to much more attractive business cases No optimization in terms of customer main focus, e.g. IRR, payback period, LCoE What are the customer benefits if simulation tools are used? Project specific optimized solution You pay for what you need Lower investment and operation costs compensate for slightly higher engineering efforts Simulations, design, implementation, guarantees always based on the same algorithms and logic Page 16
