MWh (Megawatt-hour) is a measure of energy capacity (how long the system can continue delivering that power output). For example, a 1 MW / 4 MWh BESS has four hours of storage capacity.So, while the system might be $200,000 per MW, the effective cost can be $800,000 per MWh if it has four hours duration.
This section benchmarks WESM practices against international electricity markets where ESS integration has occurred. The section focuses on services that ESS provides – providing an assessment of ancillary services, capacity markets and energy markets.
Under normal (competitive) operation ESS tends to drive low prices up (because ESS increases demand for electricity for charging) and higher prices down (because ESS wants to be dispatched to take advantage of price arbitrage). A higher penetration of ESS in the market will tend to reduce the price differential.
In the case of the Philippines WESM, while it is recognized that there is a growing need to allow for the integration of hybrid facilities (or Integrated Energy Resources), it is necessary to ensure that the implementation of the standalone ESS installations in the WESM is consistent with the requirements of Stage 3.
The future role of ESS in the electric power industry is well-recognized by the DOE. In August 2019, the DOE issued Department Circular No. DC2019-08-0012 entitled, “Providing a Framework for Energy Storage System in the Electric Power Industry”, establishing a policy on the operation, connection, and application of ESS among others.
BESS / ESS capacity is considered part of a generator portfolio’s generation resources for supply. Compute the RSI, PSI and HHI metrics for technologies as well as for firms. Monitor these to keep track of the operation of BESS playing an increasing dominant role in the market.
