Introduction to Battery Energy Storage Markets: Spain and
This blog post forms part of our new series, “Introduction to BESS (Battery Energy Storage Systems) Markets”, which will cover the drivers and revenue streams of different EU
Greenvolt and Galp have both deployed 5MW BESS projects in Portugal in the past. In eastern Europe, Moldova is in the process of completing a bidding process for the procurement of a 75MW BESS and 22MW internal combustion engine (ICE) project, called the Moldova Energy Security Project (MESA).
Pairing BESS with gas engines can enhance performance and provide cheaper, cleaner, and a more resilient power solution. In addition, the inclusion of a flywheel inertia solution can provide additional system stability, fast response, and optimisation of battery life.
BESS can minimise transmission owner and distribution network operator reinforcement costs and reduce congestion management whilst also control voltage, provide reserves and ancillary services, and maintain resilience of network electricity supply.
Revenue Streams Revenue streams for BESS can typically be categorised into ancillary services, wholesale trading and capacity market mechanisms. Ancillary services encompass frequency regulation, voltage control, reserve services, and black start capabilities for the grid.
