An analysis was carried out to verify if it would be commercially feasible to operate a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) to complement the operation of a PV plant in the Mexican market. This PV plant would generate a revenue through the contracting via the 2015, 2016 or 2017 LTAs in Mexico.
This value is in line with typical market conditions worldwide, where the contracted operation of such services is typically between 150,000 USD and 400,000 USD (3 to 8 million MXN) per MW and year.
As most energy storage systems are coupled through inverters, most best practices from PV and wind power plants can be re-used. Care has to be taken since EESS difer from PV and wind power plants since they do not only export energy, but import energy as well.
A typical Battery Energy Storage Systems in standby only consumes between 0.5 – 2% of its nominal power (e.g., a BESS with a nominal power of 1 MW would have an average auxiliary power consumption of 5 kW - 20 kW) and can be started from the “cold” ofline state to the “hot” running state within 5 seconds or less
These bids included PV plants, wind power plants and geothermal generators. An Electrical Energy Storage System use case for the capacity component only exists if a capacity component was awarded in the auctions. Therefore, no revenue can be generated from the results of the 2015 auctions due to a lack of awarded capacity bids.

Therefore, no revenue can be generated from the results of the 2015 auctions due to a lack of awarded capacity bids. However, capacity is a possible source of revenue from the 2016 and 2017 auctions.
