Utility Distribution Applications best Suited to Distributed Electricity
Storage• High loading - existing infrastructure at full capacity• High Costs to increase capacity and/or build
transmission• Slow to moderate load growth to leverage best asset
deferral benefit • Feeder voltage/reactive power (var) support needed• Difficult access to stable fuel source• Difficult permitting process for DG combustion

Rattlesnake#2225kV Feeder
•Environmentally Pristine Southeast Utah– East of Moab– East of Arches National Park– Along Colorado River valley
•209-mile long 25kV feeder, with 3-line regulators & 7-reclosers
•Possible denial of new connects because feeder cannot supply any significant amount of new load without causing low voltage to existing customers.
•Because feeder is so long, reliability and power quality is low leading to Public Service Commission Complaints. PacifiCorp agreed to fix.
•Traditional alternatives to add capacity and improve service are very costly and environmentally difficult.
•Demonstrated distribution benefits of VRB energy storage as part of PacifiCorp's DG Strategy – 2 MWh, 250kW VRB-ESS (expandable to 1MW) in Castle Valley, Utah

PacifiCorp’s View of Electricity Storage
•Excellent progress in electricity storage technology & power electronics
– Redox Flow Cell stores charged electrolytes separate from cell for greater kWh storage capability. Best distributed resource applications.
•Efficiency: 60-85%
•Best Applications:– Deferred Power Delivery assets: Peak Shaving, load following,
dynamic frequency control, volt-var support– Large renewable wind and solar projects. Leveling applications.– Premium Power: Industrial/Commercial High 9’s Availability
(99.999% available)
•Opportunity for early adopters– Looked at a number of storage technologies: Regenesys, ZBB,
VRB, others– Selected VRB Power Systems due to efficiency, availability, and
scalability (smaller size initially to prove the technology).

What is a Vanadium Redox Battery?
The VRB-ESS is a “green” technology. It has no emissions, and does not contain heavy metals. Most other
energy storage systems rely on toxic substances such as lead, zinc or
cadmium. The electrolyte used in the VRB-ESS has an indefinite life and is
completely reusable.
Vanadium Redox Batteries are a type of energy storage system (“VRB-ESS”) - flow batteries capable of storing electrical energy and deploying it back to the grid when required.
The VRB-ESS is charged like any other battery, but the energy is stored by chemical changes to the electrolyte. The electrolyte is a solution of ionic forms of vanadium in a dilute sulfuric acid that are electrochemically oxidized or reduced to store the energy. The acidity level of the electrolyte is no greater than a conventional car battery.
The electrolyte is pumped from separate plastic storage tanks across proton exchange membranes in the cell stacks, creating a current. The reaction is reversible, allowing the battery to be charged, discharged, and recharged with high efficiency.

VRB Energy Storage System Components
• Electrolyte storage tanks
• Cell stacks (with proton exchange membranes & carbon felt electrodes)
• Pumps to move the electrolyte fluid through the cell stack
• ac/dc Inverter and power conditioning
• VRB ESS Control system
The battery provides DC power. Therefore, an inverter is used to convert it to alternating current when it is returned to the electric delivery system.
Also involved: control, monitoring, and temperature regulation systems

Potential VRB-ESS Utility Applications• Load Leveling (Peak Shaving)
– The VRB Energy Storage System can reduce the peak of a customer’s energy load as seen by the distribution system. This enhances utilization of assets on the electrical grid and manages customer energy demand.
• Ancillary Services to Utilities– Reserves - Spinning, Standby, Replacement - In the event of the loss of output from a supply source or an
unexpected change in system demand, the VRB-ESS can immediately provide the required power to make up the shortfall.
• Constraint Relief & Capital Deferment– The VRB Energy Storage System is a means of buffering both the flow and supply of power and thereby
increase the associated delivered capacity in MW on a network path that is otherwise constrained.
• Power Quality & Reliability– demand side management– Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) – emergency power backup for loss of AC, voltage sags, dips, etc.– Voltage support & flicker compensation– Power factor management
• Quality of Supply (QOS) – supply side management– Reactive power provision– Capacity extension – improves voltage regulation– Power factor management
• Renewable Energy Capacity Support– The VRB-ESS can serve as a buffer between a variable supply sources and the firm competitive
requirements of a power contract – which could add value to non-firm resources such as wind and photo-voltaic (PV). It could also provide stabilization of wind turbine output and is a source of reactive energy.

Renewable Energy Applications• The VRB can be used to store
solar and wind energy
• Using a VRB can smooth the power supplied, making it more constant
• The VRB can provide reactive energy through the AC/DC converter
• The VRB is an environmentally friendly alternative to diesel generators and larger lead acid batteries

1. Focus on best applications – this can make or break the project.
2. Cost – CAPEX and O&M (life cycle) – Maximize efficiency, minimize maintenance requirement
3. Reliability and Availability – Must be there when we need it!
4. Must be large enough to have an impact (MWh).
5. Speed of response to an event - Can it be controlled and dispatched – risk to system
6. Grid stability impacts – voltage and protection dynamic interactions
7. Permitting – ease and time to obtain permits
8. Footprint – How Big? Can it be sited at customer’s premise or substation
9. Must breakthrough utility Technology bias – just build more lines and substations – new technology is too risky and subject to disallowance.
