Let us sort out the recent developments in energy storage for you.

　　A: The agency predicts that India will deploy a 180GWh battery energy storage system in 2030

　　For the first time, the Indian government has added energy storage to its renewable energy purchase obligations. Meanwhile, a government think tank in the country predicts that by 2030, India plans to deploy 180GWh of battery storage systems.

　　India's Ministry of Power issued an order last week to revise the tariff policy around the Renewable Procurement Obligation (RPO), requiring partners to ensure that a portion of their electricity comes from renewable sources.

　　Energy storage systems will be included in the policy, Power Minister RK Singh said earlier this year. Industry believes that the new order sets the trajectory of India's energy storage industry to 2030.

　　In addition to prescribing certain parameters of energy storage systems, the Indian government has also determined that large-scale pumped hydro storage (PHES) power generation facilities with an installed capacity of more than 25MW are classified as part of renewable energy.

　　By 2030, the total purchase ratio of wind power, pumped storage power generation facilities and other renewable energy will reach 43.33%, of which wind power will account for 6.94%, hydropower will account for 2.82%, and other renewable energy will account for 33.57%.

　　Between 2023 and 2024, the proportion of total energy consumed by solar or wind power facilities or through energy storage should be set at 1% and gradually rise to 4% by 2030, as shown in the table below.

　　The Central Electricity Authority of India has previously determined that about 28GW/108GWh of energy storage systems will need to be deployed into the grid in the future.

　　However, the Indian Energy Storage Alliance (IESA) has modelled demand for battery storage systems of 160GWh or more, and the result is that the market demand is likely to be higher.

　　Last week, British politician and COP26 President Alok Sharma met with Parameswayan Iyer, CEO of the National Institute of India (NITI Aayog), and Suman Bery, Deputy Director, to discuss UK-India cooperation on electric vehicles, battery reuse.

　　The think tank, in collaboration with the UK government, has prepared a report on the prospects for recycling and reuse of Advanced Chemical Batteries (ACC) batteries in India. India is currently supporting private entities at home and abroad to build 50GWh of advanced chemical battery (ACC) manufacturing capacity by 2025 and expects more to come online.

　　Therefore, while the report focuses on various aspects of the battery industry, it begins with an estimate of battery demand across all industries by 2030.

　　The total potential total demand for batteries in India from 2021 to 2030 is expected to be 600GWh: various types of electric vehicles (EVs) occupy the largest share at 380.6GWh, the total grid-side application is 136.4GWh, and the user-side application is 46.5GWh, the consumer electronics demand battery is expected to be about 36.4GWh.

　　B: 30MW/30MWh! The energy storage project deployed in Texas uses CATL batteries

　　U.S. engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) service provider Burns & McDonnell said it will provide services for the Texas Waves II battery energy storage system being deployed in the United States by Germany’s Rheinland Group (RWE).

　　The 30MW/30MWh battery storage system being deployed in Scary County, Texas, will provide load shifting and grid support services when it opens, according to a press release issued today. According to expectations of the Rheinland Group (RWE), the project will be put into operation by the end of 2022.

　　Burns & McDonnell said the energy storage project is an independently deployed battery energy storage system. RWE said the energy storage system will be co-located with the existing Pyron wind farm, and the battery storage system will use electricity from the wind farm.

　　"Adding battery storage will be a valuable asset for RWE as they provide customers with clean and reliable energy," said Chris Ruckman, vice president of energy storage at Burns & McDonnell.

　　Burns & McDonnell said that the battery energy storage system uses the EnerOne battery rack provided by CATL, which uses lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries (CATL is the world's largest manufacturer of lithium-ion batteries by sales).

　　Burns & McDonnell will provide all engineering services for the project and will install the rack, medium voltage power station (MVPS) and balance of system (BOS) equipment. The work also includes retrofitting the existing substation, which includes the installation of new 34.5kV vacuum circuit breakers, protection relays and electrical instrumentation upgrades.

　　C: 39MW/180MWh! Mitsubishi Electric wins orders for four microgrid projects in California

　　San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) has selected Mitsubishi Electric as the battery energy storage system supplier for the construction of four microgrids in its service area.

　　Mitsubishi Electric also announced the deal, in which San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) will order a total of 39MW/180MWh of utility-scale battery storage systems for the construction of four microgrids.

　　These microgrids will be connected to the grids of Elliot, Clairemont, Paradise, Boulevard in San Diego. They will provide power capacity and enhance grid resilience, especially during peak summer electricity demand.

　　California's power system is under enormous pressure during the summer, and the California Independent System Operator (CAISO), the main operator of the state's grid and wholesale electricity market, has been emphasizing the important role energy storage systems play in mitigating energy supply risks.

　　Mitsubishi Electric Corporation will provide and deploy its Emerald battery energy storage solution, which includes an integrated power plant control system consisting of an energy management system (EMS) and SCADA that oversees real-time battery energy storage system operation and provides a monitoring platform .

　　said Fernando Valero, director of advanced clean technology at San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E). “We are living in an era where climate change and extreme heatwaves pose an increasing threat and impact on grid reliability. By expanding our energy storage portfolio, we will increase Facilities have become more resilient.”

　　San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) also ordered a 10MW/60MWh battery storage system from Mitsubishi Electric in March for the company's Pala-GomezCreek energy storage project, which it said at the time would be its eighth battery storage in California. project.

　　Meanwhile, Mitsubishi Electric has recently entered the European energy storage market: providing battery storage systems with a combined storage capacity of 371MWh for four energy storage projects in Ireland, and co-locating a solar power facility in Chile for developer Innergex The deployed energy storage project provides a 425MWh battery energy storage system. Mitsubishi Electric is also building a 300GWh green hydrogen storage project in Utah, which will receive a $504 million loan from the U.S. Department of Energy to cover its construction costs.

　　D: US battery energy storage system integrator FlexGen launches new products for industrial and commercial energy storage

　　FlexGen, an American battery energy storage system integrator, has launched an energy storage product for distributed and user-side applications.

　　North Carolina-based FlexGen has launched FlexPod, a containerized, modular and scalable battery energy storage solution designed to meet a wide range of product needs.

　　Each Flexpod energy storage module includes the battery, power conversion equipment, thermal management system and fire protection system, and is controlled and managed through the company's energy management software (EMS) HybridOS.
