Title of Presentation Energy Storage in Ireland and What We Have learned Peter Duffy, Irish Energy Storage Association 2019-01-05 Version 0.1 Overview of Presentation Today 1. Description of Irish electricity market and issues arising - Will cover overall size, trends, and planning/connections applications distribution 2. Irish energy storage to date and what has been learned that would have international application - Will address energy storage policy and energy storage drivers 3. Energy storage procurement process, tariffs, investment and opportunities going forward - Will describe the energy storage market, contracts, risk and return 4. What other System Operators can learn from Irish experience - Will examine what other System Operators (small/large incl China) could learn from Ireland 1 1. Irish electricity market and issues arising • All-island electricity market, termed the iSEM (N Regulator regulates licences/tariffs • Generation mix of fossil fuel plant, plus wind, solar system-wide or individual 5. Could decide to face this problem at an early stage by considering their own grids, building expertise, differentiating between frequency/voltage support and system recovery AND developing Government expected to adopt • With instantaneous penetration rising from 75% in 2020 to 90% in 2030 • Huge challenges for System Operators for grid stability and security • This clearly points to a key role for storage in the future; rapid-response storage for grid security/stability and medium-response storage for balancing supply/demand • Climate Action demands a concerted drive in Europe & globally for renewables • EU & funding agencies need to up their game on R&D projects 1 THANK YOU Peter Duffy President, Irish Energy Storage Association (IESA) peterduffy@iesa.ie
