"Data-led systems can be used across the grid network to inform constituents when batteries and storage systems are at capacity, so that we can consume and store energy more efficiently.
ESB has today opened its latest major battery plant at its Aghada site in Co Cork which will add 150MW (300MWh) of fast-acting energy storage to help provide grid stability and deliver more renewable power onto Ireland’s electricity system.
Eirgrid has estimated the total value of the contracts at around €6 million per year. Eirgrid is using storage to work towards a 75% renewables power network in the near future. Irish grid authority Eirgrid Group has selected three large scale storage projects, with a combined capacity of 110 MW, in the first auction held under the DS3 program.
Said Manus O‘Donnell, Chief Investment Officer of NTR; “This mix of solar and battery storage brings much-needed diversity of renewables technology onto the Irish grid, particularly for lower wind days. Co-location of solar and battery projects can be particularly effective, as they can share grid connections and obtain economies of scale.
EirGrid assigned 7.2 GW of capacity in its latest auction, with 5.4 GW to come from gas power plants. The auction clearing price reached €83.050 ($90.554)/MW per year. Irish grid operator EirGrid has published the provisional results of its latest auction for the capacity market – the so-called T–4 Capacity Auction.
Battery storage is a hot topic in anticipation of national grid operator Eirgrid running a special auction to bring as much as 100 megawatts (MW) of storage technology on to the grid in the short term. Highfield's combined projects would potentially allow for storage of as much as 70MW if they were to get the go ahead.
The initiative has enabled the Irish electricity grid to raise the contribution of renewables from 50% to 65%, a level Eirgrid describes as a “world first”, and with the further aim of reaching 75%. The storage tender held on September 24 was intended to allocate around 140 MW of capacity.
