2. Germany – Renewables Supply Nearly 100% of load for some hours
May 16, By Jessica Shankleman, Bloomberg
Clean power supplied almost all of Germany’s power demand for the first time on May 15, marking a milestone for Chancellor Angela Merkel’s “Energiewende” policy to boost renewables while phasing out nuclear and fossil fuels.
Solar and wind power peaked at 2 p.m., allowing renewables to supply 45.5 GW as demand was 45.8 GW.

But even when solar and wind peaked, conventional power plants were still supplying 7.7 GW.
Renewables were only able to avoid curtailment because of Germany’s export capability,

3. Nuevo récord de la energía eólica, que llegó a cubrir el 70% de la demanda
Madrid / Oviedo
La energía eólica alcanzó el pasado 21 de noviembre a las 4.50 horas un nuevo récord de cobertura de la demanda de electricidad, al aportar el 70,4% del total, según datos de Red Eléctrica de España (REE).
En noviembre, la generación procedente de fuentes de energía renovable representó el 34,4% de la producción, al tiempo que el 52,5% de la producción eléctrica de este mes procedió de tecnologías que no emiten CO2.
REE indicó que, conforme a los datos del Centro de Control Eléctrico (Cecoel) de la propia empresa, la eólica generó MW a la hora en que se produjo el récord de cobertura. En ese momento, la demanda de electricidad ascendía a MW.

4. Renewables in the EU COUNTRIES
The EU's Renewable Energy Directive sets a binding target of 20% final energy consumption from renewable sources by 2020 and 27% by EU countries have committed to reaching their own national renewables targets ranging from 10% in Malta to 49% in Sweden.
France - RES program targets by 2020:
Wind energy: 25,000 MW
Solar energy: 5,400 MW
Germany – Electric power generation from RES has increased from 6.3% in 2000 to 32.5% in 2015 (of which wind: 86 TWh; solar: 38.5 TWh)
UK Renewable electricity generation was 83.3 TWh (+29% on 2014).
Renewables’ share: 24.7% with overall capacity of 30.0 GW
Italy 2015 – The national electrical energy load was covered by:
17.1% hydro
8.3% solar (18.9 GW, 22.6 TWh)
5.4% wind (8.9 GW, 14.5 TWh)

5. Storage plays a central role in the new electrical energy frame
Energy Storage is part of a complete solution for energy, required for the optimized operation of electric systems and the integration of Renewable Sources.

6. Residential storage in germany
41% of all residential PV systems installed in Germany have battery storage, aimed at increasing self-consumption.
Why is this happening now?
Two main reasons:
solar and storage prices have hit a tipping point and
storage device lifetimes are much longer, so they don’t need replacing as often (good quality lithium batteries for use with solar panels are now warrantied for 10 years).

7. The UK National Grid tender results
The UK National Grid tender results are an instructive illustration of the competitive dynamic in the grid sector.
The National Grid’s 200MW recent tender has been highly competitive
223 entrants bid-in a combined 5.1GW of storage projects – 26x the amount of capacity being tendered
Average price of £9.44/MW of EFR/h.
Capital and/or balance sheet resources prevailed

8. California: CPUC SETS ENERGY STORAGE GOALS FOR UTILITIES
Oct. 17, The California Public Utilities Commission established an energy storage target of 1,325 megawatts for PG&E, SCE, and SDG&E by 2020, with installations required no later than the end of 2024.
The guiding principles of today’s decision are:
the optimization of the grid, including peak reduction, contribution to reliability needs, or deferment of transmission and distribution upgrade investments;
the integration of renewable energy;
the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions to 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050, per California’s goals.

9. Energy Storage Markets
Areas of application:
Micro-grids (islands, remote villages, local grid system)
Residential (reliability of supply, max self consumption, bill saving)
Peak shaving (grid, critical feeders, customer load profile)
Grid services (centralized storage)
Grid services (distributed storage, aggregators)
Support to RES (reducing fluctuations, limiting ramps, time-shift)
