Automotive: Joint Industry Cooperation
 Joint industry cooperation (EUROBAT – ILA
– car industry (ACEA – JAMA – KAMA) to
provide information for the review of the ELV
Directive
 Four studies were prepared:
1. A review of Batteries for Automotive Applications;
2. Life Cycle Assessment of Lead-based Batteries in
Passenger Vehicles;
3. Resource Availability of Materials used in
Automotive Batteries Technologies;

Benefits of battery energy storage:
Grid operators
Peak shaving in low
voltage grid
BES can store energy in periods of
low demand and release it in periods
of high demand
Load levelling in LV grid
BES can help grid operators to avoid fatal
overloads in power of grid devices by
shifting load from peak to base load
periods
Integration of renewable energy into the grid
BES can reduce renewable peak generation, storing energy during periods of peak
production and releasing it when needed, favouring the growth of renewables in the
energy mix
BCI Convention
29 April 2014
Frequency regulation
Voltage control
BES can store energy to balance a
grid area with high frequency
instability, also providing reserve
capabilities to wind and solar
generators
BES can maintain the voltage profile within
a defined range storing energy when the
voltage is high
Benefits of battery energy storage:
Customers
Time-shift for self
consumption
Uninterruptible Power Supply
(UPS)
BES can provide power during
renewables non-generation hours,
increasing households independency
from the grid
BES can provide backup power during
power outage periods
BCISmoothing
Convention

of RES feed-in
BES can smooth renewable energy
sources (RES) feed-in by providing,
absorbing and delivering power to
limit fluctuations of feed-in electricity
in the low voltage grid
Time-shift for feed-in
BES can create economic value through
electrical energy trading to the local utility
industry via “storing-selling-consumption

-
Certain storage services cannot be placed on the market
Arbitrage, Frequency Controls is a necessity
Energy Security on European level is high priority in EU
Energy Security on mid-level and local level is emerging
Building Efficiency; Residential storage only way for RES
Countries are most important arena to discuss & resolve
Local and Regional cooperation in addition to EU & Member States
Simplified: Proposals to increase markets
and energy security in Europe
What issues are hampering the development of storage
Curtailment of Renewable Energy
1.
Ensure the efficient use of wind and solar in the European grid
 Introduce financial penalties to limit/eliminate (renewable energy)
«curtailment»
Definition of Energy Storage
2. Open market for storage to all operators
 End definition of storage as «regulated generating asset»

Remove dis-incentives for distributed energy storage in the proposed
EU package
 Ensure remaining «incentives» encourage rather than discourage investment
in storage

21
What to do:
Proposals to increase storage investment
1. Open market for storage to all operators
 End definition of storage as «regulated generating asset»
2. Ensure efficient use of wind and solar in the
European grid
 Penalties to limit/eliminate RE «curtailment» by utilities
3. Remove dis-incentives for distributed energy
storage
BCI Convention
29 April 2014
 Ensure remaining «incentives» encourage rather than
discourage investment in storage
22
How to do?
Large and Complex task
What issues are hampering the development of storage
1. Meeting DG Energy, Dominique Ristori
 Regulation and Policy, ongoing; studies on storage roadmap (also to
EASE, European Storage Association)
 New European Commission
 New European Parliament
2. Work in the countries and regions
 Italy, UK, Germany…
BCI Convention
 The Committee of Regulators - ACER

3. Cooperate with the Universities, JRC and stakeholders
(customer and policy conference)
 BESTEST and other R&D input to policies
 Storage functionality is broad; unlocking multiple options
