Energy storage experience Reference installations across industries and applications 20 MW energy storage system for capacity reserves A large thermal power plant in Chile is responsible for providing power to an important mining region locally. To ensure grid reliability, the power plant would curtail power from the grid and hold back capacity to meet system response for primary and secondary reserves. The power plant installed a 20 MW / 5 MWh energy storage system that would allow for an additional 20 MW of power generation to be supplied to its customers. The energy storage system uses five 4 MW EssPro PCS units. The system results in additional revenues for the power plant and a more stable and reliable electrical power infrastructure for their customers. 8 MW to enhance grid stability A large investor owned utility in California wanted to evaluate the performance of a battery energy storage system combined with new smart inverter technology. In 2013, the utility installed an 8 MW 4 hour (32 MWh) lithium-ion battery combined with two 4.5 MVA EssPro PCS units. The installation was in one of California s largest wind resource areas, where as much as 4.5 GW of wind resources are expected to come online by 2015. Some of the many project benefits of installing this battery energy storage system include added voltage support and grid stabilization, decreases in transmission losses and congestion, frequency regulation support and optimization of the wind energy output through capacity firming and smoothing. 100 kw microgrid For a pioneering microgrid customer in Slovakia, ABB s EssPro PCS enables integration with the local utility, providing a more efficient renewable energy supply. The energy storage device is able to regulate the power flow by discharging power to the grid when wind and solar energy output varies, or during unstable events, such as extreme weather conditions. This microgrid storage solution helps maintain efficient transmission and distribution by providing active and reactive power control. 10 EssPro PCS ABB

2 MW frequency regulation solution China s energy demand is growing rapidly and the renewable sources play an important role in the country s new energy strategy. To help maintain grid reliability and efficiency a utility in China installed a 2 MW energy storage system for frequency regulation. For this project ABB supplied an EssPro PCS with advanced controls in order to help stabilize grid frequency. 240 kw systems to support two facilities Two 240 kwh battery energy storage systems, each combined with a 100 kw EssPro PCS from ABB, enhances the operational efficiency at each site. The first location was a local health center that required demand reduction, load shifting and PV integration to reduce the facility s energy cost. The second location was a bottling company that required voltage support for improved process efficiency as well as demand reduction to reduce escalating energy bills. ABB s EssPro PCS enables both facilities to more effectively integrate renewables, offer greater stability to the electric grid and allow the end customer to take better control of their energy management. 400 kw integrated wind and energy storage system In cold northern locations in Canada, the price of energy can be significant due to the high cost of transporting fuel to sites and also due to the long, cold winters and short hours of daylight. In order to reduce energy bills and promote the adoption of clean energy, the Cowessess First Nation (CFN) was one of the first communities in Canada to install a wind turbine with a battery energy storage system. ABB s EssPro PCS enables the battery energy storage system to demonstrate the successful integration of a wind turbine into the electrical grid. The project also verified that the system is compliant with the anti-islanding standards when the grid was absent and the wind turbine was still in production. ABB EssPro PCS 11
