The Spanish scheme for energy storage hybrid projects that produce electricity from renewable sources. The programme fits within the organisation’s Recovery, Transformation, and Resilience Plan (RRTP).
A total installed capacity of at least 600 MW, or the equal amount of total energy supply, will be provided by five storage projects that will be funded under the programme.
Although the money will solely pay for the addition of storage, the projects must be hybridised with renewable energy sources. Only initiatives that wouldn’t be financially viable without state assistance will receive subsidies from the government.
The Spain Energy Storage Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Spanish energy storage system with 88MWh capacity launched by Kyoto Group. One of the biggest owners of cogeneration facilities in Spain, according to a news release, is the company with which the LOI was signed.
If the agreement is implemented, Kyoto Group will install an 88MWh energy storage system at one of the company’s sites in Spain, allowing for continuous emission-free heat generation.
In order to generate more renewable steam for industrial processes, they hope to operate their plant more efficiently with the Heat Cube system than they have in the past. Furthermore, they want to keep pursuing their plan to lessen the carbon footprint of our operations.
Kyoto purchased a company with several intellectual property rights relevant to the development of thermal energy storage in Spain and renamed it Kyoto Technology Spain, albeit it is unclear how the two developments are related. Energy-Storage at the time provided coverage for the acquisition of Mercury Energy.
The Heatcube product from Kyoto is a modular thermal energy storage system that operates by heating salt to a current temperature of 415 degrees Celsius and using that stream to power industrial production processes.
According to the manufacturer, ternary salt can hold heat energy up to 525 degrees celsius. The Heatcube can be set up to have storage capacity of 16–96 MWh or more, with a discharge of up to 5 MW for each Heatcube.
Optimising energy production with the latest smart grid technologies. Modern technologies are influencing how energy is produced, distributed, and used. Incorporating digital information into the old electrical system, smart grid technology—a crucial component of the energy industry’s digital transformation—promises to assist energy providers in switching to renewable energy sources and lower carbon emissions.
Nearly 10,000 power-generating units that can produce over a million megawatts of energy have been erected in the U.S. alone. These units are connected by more than 300,000 miles of transmission lines. Smart grid technologies, however, go beyond utility firms since they provide consumers more control over how much energy individuals use.
The power grid has traditionally been a one-way street. Electricity is generated at energy-generating facilities and then distributed to end users. With minimal real-time information on usage and demand, the system is mostly passive.
Smart grids are an extreme example of this approach. A smart grid is a digital electrical network that uses interactive two-way communication to distribute power to users. This enables automated, sophisticated energy delivery as well as a plethora of opportunities for consumers to manage their electricity use and expenses. Smart grids and other advanced energy management systems can use a variety of technologies to assist utility companies and consumers in tracking energy usage.
Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) is one such innovation. On a predetermined timetable, AMI measures, gathers, and analyses energy usage from smart electricity, gas, and/or water metres. All parties receive a clear picture of consumption patterns and the opportunity to utilise energy more effectively after the data is supplied to consumers and energy suppliers for monitoring and billing.
Another form of smart grid technology is demand response management (DRM). Demand-side management (DSM) is prioritised by real-time pricing models (RTPMs), which raise power prices during times of high demand by incentivizing users to use less energy. Phasor measuring units (PMUs) synchronise with a common time source to monitor electrical waves on the power grid. Utility companies can collect data at many points along the distribution system’s length and then combine it to get a complete picture of the system’s health thanks to time synchronisation.
Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology, sometimes referred to as vehicle-to-grid integration (VGI), can be used by energy providers. Batteries for electric vehicles are incredibly effective energy storage devices. By returning unused energy from the vehicle to the smart grid, V2G systems take use of that efficiency. This helps to balance out surges in electricity usage and lessens grid overload during peak hours.
