6 FAQs about [Problems in energy storage project construction]
What are the challenges of large-scale energy storage application in power systems?
The challenges of large-scale energy storage application in power systems are presented from the aspect of technical and economic considerations. Meanwhile the development prospect of global energy storage market is forecasted, and application prospect of energy storage is analyzed.
What are the challenges faced by energy storage industry?
Even if the energy storage has many prospective markets, high cost, insufficient subsidy policy, indeterminate price mechanism and business model are still the key challenges.
Does project finance apply to energy storage projects?
The general principles of project finance that apply to the financing of solar and wind projects also apply to energy storage projects. Since the majority of solar projects currently under construction include a storage system, lenders in the project finance markets are willing to finance the construction and cashflows of an energy storage project.
What technology risks are associated with energy storage systems?
Technology Risks Lithium-ion batteries remain the most widespread technology used in energy storage systems, but energy storage systems also use hydrogen, compressed air, and other battery technologies. Project finance lenders view all of these newer technologies as having increased risk due to a lack of historical data.
What are the implications of a combined renewables-plus-storage project?
There will be important implications for a combined renewables-plus-storage project depending upon whether the project is DC coupled or AC coupled. For example, AC coupled systems are generally viewed as being simpler since the renewable energy storage can be connected separately with AC power.
What are the legal and contractual issues associated with a battery storage project?
The legal and contractual issues associated with development, construction, and operation of a battery storage project are similar to those of other power projects, but owners/developers should keep in mind some key issues, particularly around equipment supply contracts, real estate, and shared facilities.
