This thesis explores how a market for grid-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) can become reality in Sweden. Higher penetration levels of distributed, variable renewable energy (VRE) from wind power challenge the incumbent energy regime and require new solutions for the grid integration of renewables.
The objectives for this thesis are to gain insights about how grid-scale BESS can be integrated in the Swedish electricity system and to get an understanding of the prospects for grid-scale BESS in Sweden. Given the aim of the study, the research design will have an exploratory purpose.
For example, it has not been possible for energy storage to serve as a frequency reserve in Sweden (ENTSO-E and WGAS, 2018). Hence, this is a barrier for the deployment of energy storage. However, there are new changes in the Swedish balancing markets that will impact the possibilities for BESS to deliver frequency regulation.
Battery storage can be used as a complement to electricity grids until they are supplemented. Building electricity grids takes time and involves long permit processes, but battery storage is faster to build. The project is run by Vattenfall Eldistribution and Vattenfall Network Solutions.
In fact, the Swedish Coordination Council for Smart Grids (Samordningsrådet för smarta elnät, 2014) concluded in its final report to the Swedish Government that the use of energy storage is not explicitly dealt with under the existing law, but the use and operation of such storage units is rather disincentivsed.
The Uppsala battery storage project is a 5 MW delivery capacity system that supports Uppsala’s electricity grid capacity as a service for Vattenfall Eldistribution. It also assists Svenska Kraftnät (the Swedish power grid authority) in balancing the frequency in Sweden, with a storage capacity of about 20 MWh, which is equivalent to 4 MW in 5 hours.
