Can battery energy storage systems stabilize Vietnam's grid?

Sunita Dubey and Hyunjung Lee share how Vietnam is leveraging Battery Energy Storage Systems to stabilize their grid and accelerate the energy transition.

How can battery energy storage systems improve power supply?

The variability of renewable energy sources, combined with the increasing demand often results in unreliable supply and frequent power shortages. Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) play a pivotal role in addressing these challenges by minimising the intermittency of renewables, enhancing grid flexibility, and ensuring reliable power supply.

What will Vietnam's energy future look like in 2030?

The government anticipates a 10-12% annual surge through 2030 in the nation's power consumption. This rapidly expanding energy demand presents a significant challenge to Vietnam's transforming energy landscape, especially considering the urgent need to reduce global emissions and utilise renewable alternatives.

Will EVN build a 50mw/50mwh Bess project near Hanoi?

What is Spain's energy storage program?

For stakeholders in battery storage, thermal storage, and pumped hydro, this program offers not only financial backing but also long-term stability and political support. Spain has launched a €700 million energy storage program to support battery, thermal, and pumped hydro projects, aiming to deploy 2.5–3.5 GW of capacity.

How will Spain increase its energy storage capacity?

Spain has launched an ambitious €700 million (around $796 million) program to increase its energy storage capacity. This plan will add 2.5 to 3.5 gigawatts (GW) of storage. It includes pumped hydro, thermal energy storage, and battery systems.

How many MW is a photovoltaic plant in Spain?

Iberdrola España has commissioned the Arañuelo III photovoltaic plant, with an installed capacity of 40 MW, the first photovoltaic project in Spain to incorporate an energy storage battery, with 3 MW and 9 MWh of capacity. In January 2022, the installation of the first wind storage battery in Bizkaia was started up.

What is the first electric energy storage system in Spain?

In November 2019, Iberdrola España inaugurated the first electrical energy storage system with lithium-ion batteries for distribution networks in Spain.

Why should Spain invest in energy storage?

Investing in energy storage helps Spain meet its climate goals. This includes achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. Storing renewable energy instead of wasting it helps the country rely less on fossil fuels. This also cuts down greenhouse gas emissions. Pumped hydro, thermal storage, and battery systems are effective technologies.

How has Spain strengthened its energy infrastructure?

Spain has taken a decisive step in strengthening its energy infrastructure with the launch of a €700 million support scheme aimed at expanding large-scale energy storage across the country.
