Prospect of Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery Used in Energy Storage Phoenix Silicon International Corporation Mike Yang, Ph.D. March 28 th, 2014 1
Why ESS is Noted Growing needs for storage Expectation toward EV as substitute The following problems occur against increase and expansion of new energy (PV, WP) peak demand. Increase of unstable power System congestion Surplus of wind and solar power Aging of power equipment Power shortage at its peak demand Each country (state) government, actively promotes the new rules and subsidies to develop its industry Growing Expectation Toward ESS Material manufacturers and LIB manufacturers, which are to make aggressive investment, are significantly affected because EV market is not set up as planned. LIB market for automotive is supposed to be harsh as severe price game. When it comes to ESS, there is no winner yet in the market because the market is still being growing. Lots of attention has been focused on its potential. 2

Global PV Industry Goes Healthful Healthful supply-demand trend Over supply percentage has down to less than 20% Market place diverse Japan and other region increasing and German decreasing (due to subsidy policy) European market expected to be down to 20% and Asian (Japan + China) market expected to be around 40% 6
Inexorable Cost Reduction Solar module price declines from 1972 show an overall learning rate of 22%... though in recent years (from 2008) that learning rate has increased to 40%. In reality, the actual learning rate is likely to be around 30% Source: Citi Research, Bloomberg New Energy Finance 7
Solar in Peak Electricity Demand Solar has stolen the peak of the electricity demand curve An actual German electricity demand curves (in sunny day) Doubling (simulated) the penetration of wind and solar, with the same electricity demand curves During the sunny period, the power from conventional generator will be less than the economics of baseload generation Source: Citi Research, Bloomberg New Energy Finance 8
Energy Storage Becomes Inevitable Solar has a specific generation profile tilted towards the middle of the day As solar installation rates growing, midday electricity generation will causes grid stability problem Energy demand/supply imbalance leads to grid instability, Grid instability is costly for the industry Solar storage as a viable solution to mitigate grid instability Source: Citi Research, Bloomberg New Energy Finance 9
Battery Storage Becomes Inevitable Any excess generation above the natural run rate of conventional baseload is stored (upper figure) and spread across the day (lower figure) Source: Citi Research, 10 Bloomberg New Energy Finance
Battery Storage Becomes Inevitable Batteries and storage could mitigate this problem to an extent by spreading solar s excess peak generation across the shoulders This would allow more conventional plants to operate at a natural run rate. There is still need certain amount of capacity payments (conventional plants) to cover backup generation to replace solar s shortfall during the winter Partly driven by the growth of PV, over 720 MW of distributed energy storage will be deployed in the U.S. between 2014 and 2020.
