P. Mastropietro P. Rodilla P. Brito-Pereira C. Batlle

January 2021 - July 2021

Funding entity PSR Soluçoes e Consultoria em Energia Ltda

Participated by Carlos Batlle


The goal of this project is to analyse different storage technologies (mechanical, electrochemical, electrical, chemical, and thermal) from a technical (power, energy, discharge capability, response time, conversion rate) and an economic point of view (present costs and cost forecasts). After the techno-economic assessment, the study focuses on the most relevant regulatory aspects, reviewing international experiences, identifying the services that storage can provide to the system (among others, ancillary services, reliability and adequacy services, and grid services) and analysing the regulatory barriers that hamper storage participation in the market.


Layman's summary: The goal of this project is to analyse electricity storage from a technical, economic and regulatory perspective.
