6 Frequently Asked Questions about “Energy storage frequency regulation project of Rotterdam power plant in the Netherlands”

What is the Netherlands Advancion energy storage array?

The Netherlands Advancion Energy Storage Array was commissioned in late 2015 and provides 10 MWh of storage to Dutch transmission system operator TenneT. The project, which represents 50% of all Dutch energy storage capacity, provides frequency regulation by using power stored in its batteries to respond to grid imbalances.

How many energy storage facilities are there in the Netherlands?

The vast majority of the 20 MW of installed energy storage capacity in the Netherlands is spread over just three facilities: the Netherlands Advancion Energy Storage Array (10 MW Li-ion), the Amsterdam ArenA (4 MW Li-ion), and the Bonaire Wind-Diesel Hybrid project (3 MW Ni-Cad battery).

Is energy storage legal in the Netherlands?

Although renewable energy projects in general are possible under current legislation, the Netherlands has no specific legislation for energy storage. The legislator has drafted a bill combining and improving the current Electricity and Gas Act also known as “STROOM”.

Can large-scale battery energy storage systems participate in system frequency regulation?

In the end, a control framework for large-scale battery energy storage systems jointly with thermal power units to participate in system frequency regulation is constructed, and the proposed frequency regulation strategy is studied and analyzed in the EPRI-36 node model.

Does battery energy storage participate in system frequency regulation?

Since the battery energy storage does not participate in the system frequency regulation directly, the task of frequency regulation of conventional thermal power units is aggravated, which weakens the ability of system frequency regulation.

What percentage of Dutch electricity is renewable?

Renewables represent less than 10% of electricity generated. By 2020, renewable energy is to represent 14% of the entire Dutch energy supply, as mandated by the EU in the Renewable Energy Directive (2009/28/EC). This corresponds to an electricity sector with over 30% renewable energy generation.
