Such challenges are minimized by the incorporation of utility-scale energy storage systems (ESS), providing flexibility and reliability to the electrical system. Despite the benefits brought by ESS, the technology still has limited investment and application in Brazil.
An unreliable grid is driving Brazilian energy storage demand. The world is set to have more than 760 GWh of energy storage capacity by 2030, led by Chinese and United States markets dominated by utility-scale systems.
Specifically for Brazil, as shown in the results, there is no resolution that specifically addresses energy storage, even though some regulations currently in force may indirectly influence the adoption of ESS technologies, such as regulations for electric vehicles, differentiated hourly tariffs, among others.
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 $800,000 per MWh if it has four hours duration.
The current levelized cost of energy (LCOE) varies from US$ 108 to US$ 471 per megawatt-hour (MWh), depending on the size of the ESS in battery . Battery energy storage systems (BESS) for stationary applications have been growing exponentially in recent years in the world , reaching 1.62 GW in 2016 .
With well-designed policies and regulations, Brazil has significant potential to follow in the footsteps of jurisdictions like California and Chile for large-scale battery storage, Germany for distributed and large-scale storage, and Australia for both pumped hydro and large-scale battery systems.
