Power System Gamechanger? ENERGY STORAGE
Common Terms and Measures Power The maximum rated power at which the system can be charged or discharged. Measured in kw or MW and depends on the size of the system and the prescribed C-rate. State of charge (SOC) An expression of the present battery capacity as a percentage of maximum capacity. SOC is generally calculated using current integration to determine the change in battery capacity over time. Duration The discharge time at rated power from the upper state of charge limit to lower state of charge limit as specified for the application Depth of discharge (DOD) The percentage of battery capacity that has been discharged expressed as a percentage of maximum capacity. A discharge to at least 80 % DOD is referred to as a deep discharge.
Common Terms and Measures Roundtrip Energy Efficiency The useful energy output from an ESS divided by the energy input into the system, and expressed as a percentage, and including all system losses and electrical inefficiency involved in the storage of the energy under normal operating conditions. Cycle life The number of discharge-charge cycles the battery can experience before it fails to meet specific performance criteria. Cycle life is estimated for specific charge and discharge conditions. The actual operating life of the battery is affected by the rate and depth of cycles and by other conditions such as temperature and humidity. The higher the DOD, the lower the cycle life. C-rate This is a measure of the rate at which a battery is discharged relative to its maximum capacity. A 1C rate means that the discharge current will discharge the entire battery in 1 hour. A 2C = 30 minutes. For a battery with a capacity of 500 Ah, this equates to a discharge current of 500 A. Duty Cycle A charge/discharge profile that represents the demands associated with a specific application that are placed on an energy storage system (ESS).

Flywheels A flywheel is a mechanical battery that stores kinetic energy in a rotating mass. When charging, a flywheel uses power from the grid to power a motor that accelerates the flywheel to high speeds. When discharging, the flywheel is slowed down using the momentum of the wheel to drive the motor in reverse to act as a generator.

Global Trends Storage Technologies ENERGY STORAGE performance metrics: Capital cost ($/kwh) Cycle life Roundtrip Energy Efficiency Space footprint C-rate (duration) Usable SOC range Lead Acid batteries are the work horse for industrial and residential backup and provide lower capital cost solutions, while Li-Ion & Flow batteries are emerging as solutions for applications requiring higher cycle life. Several companies are now looking at improving the performance/cost ratio by implementing design and materials innovations. Innovations will emerge as game changers where different technologies are competing for similar applications.
Global Trends Manufacturing LEAD ACID batteries lead the energy storage market in production and sales LITHIUM ION batteries are currently being manufactured in the GW scale (portable, transportation and grid storage) FLOW BATTERIES are currently being manufactured on a MW scale. Production is likely to scale up significantly in the next 5 years Energy storage technologies are in the early stages of achieving economies of scale. As the costs come down, markets will expand, thus providing more opportunities to scale up. Lead acid is the oldest battery technology which is still being manufactured on a global scale. As the production of other technologies is ramped up over the coming years prices are likely to decrease due to economies of scale. Several manufacturing level innovations will be required to accomplish mass production of associated critical materials and systems.

Northland Power - Pumped Storage The BIG project in the energy storage suite of solutions The Marmora project will use an (abandoned) flooded open pit mine and an upper reservoir in a closed-loop configuration. Combination pumps - generators will pump water up into the reservoir during off-peak periods and then release it back down through turbines into the mine during on-peak periods to generate electricity. The design provides for an average head of 140 metres producing 400 MW of generated power to enable time-shifting, energy balancing and to enable renewable energy sources. It will also help to address any surplus of base load electricity. Energy Storage Ontario 2014
