Introduction

As the Paris agreement shows, limiting cli-mate change is a worldwide acknowledged necessity and even though the approaches vary it is widely accepted that renewable energies, such as solar photovoltaics (PV), wind, bio- and geothermal energy, are a vital part of the future energy system. Re-newable energies are supported by many governments and over the last decade its costs have decreased to grid parity in many regions. While renewables, such as bioen-ergy, hydro energy and geothermal are base-load capable, the predominantly add-ed new capacities are wind and PV, which are intermittent. Without energy storage high wind and PV penetration rates require very flexible power systems to compensate potential shortfalls or peak generation, see F i g u r e 1 . Currently, flexible capacity is provided by pumped hydro, gas engine/ turbine plants, and some battery installa-tions. Of these, large battery systems are least mature but many commercial instal-lations operate successfully and the tech-nology is set to continue its growth path due to production related economies-of-

scale, learning curve improvements and further research and development.

At the moment standalone battery systems predominantly use the grid’s electricity mix, with some being directly connected to wind or PV plants. The global electricity mix is still fossil fuel dominated in the ma-jority of countries and dispatchable renew-able power is a necessity to change this. While the two logical green energy combi-nations are batteries with wind and PV, bi-omass and waste to energy plants are of interest too. Such plants can charge/dis-charge batteries at any time required to provide grid services, thus expanding their revenue stream beyond fixed base-load power prices.

Biomass and waste to energy is divided into two main conversion technologies, one being digestion (biogas plants) for high moisture organic materials, such as food waste or manure, and the second be-ing thermal conversion (biomass plants) for solid and lower moisture materials, e.g. wood or municipal solid waste.

VGB PowerTech 1/2 l 2019 Battery augmented biomass and waste power plants – A new approach to provide grid services

waste plants react slowly to load changes with ramp rates of 2-6 %/min., which is similar to coal fired plants [2]. Typically, the electricity from such plants cost, de-pending on fuel price, plant investment and finance conditions, between US$ 30/MWh to US$ 140/MWh [3]. However, the prices for balancing power and other grid services can be significantly higher, e.g. in Germany the maximum value in 2015 was 6,344 €/MWh [4]. Currently, neither biomass nor waste to energy plants participate in the balancing power market but if they could it would be an interesting option to maximize revenue. Hence, its hybridisation with bat-teries is worth exploring in more detail.

Hybridisation and its benefits

With the amount of wind and PV genera-tion rising significantly worldwide, storage is essential and coupling it with biomass or waste power plants would be beneficial to further use existing infrastructure, buffer intermittent generation and create new revenue streams for plant operators. Hy-bridisation can realise this at competitive cost. The specific investment cost reduc-tions of biomass hybrid power plants are already proven in some installations, such as with solar thermal in the 22.5 MWe Borges power plant in Spain [5] or with geothermal as in the 18 MWe Cornia 2 pow-er plant in Italy [6]. In both plants the en-ergy sources are hydraulically connected.Augmenting a biomass or waste to energy plant with a battery is significantly less complex because the hydraulic integration of water/steam flows is not necessary. In-stead, only the electrical interconnection is required. Furthermore, the battery hybrid provides a number of advantages for the grid and the plant:

– For limited periods the battery can be used to significantly raise the plant ca-pacity to meet peak demand, increasing revenue by taking part in the balancing power market.

– Battery can serve as both, load and ca-pacity for the grid. That means that dur-ing periods of over-capacity and low/negative prices the generated electricity of the thermal power plant can be stored and supplied to the grid when prices re-cover, again enabling balancing power market participation.

– Adding a battery to the thermal power plant provides black-start capability.

– The battery system adds renewable ca-pacity to the existing plant. The com-bined capacity can participate in the day-ahead market.

– When the grid is unstable the addition of a battery to the biomass power plant en-sures a secure ramp down of the plant into the battery, e.g. during a grid break-down. This would reduce material stress from emergency shutdowns and extend equipment lifetime.

– Use of existing grid connection infra-structure for the thermal plant and the battery system.

The necessity to provide these mentioned grid services will vary greatly depending on the energy mix. In a grid with high wind and PV penetration, such as the German or Californian grid, fossil fuel plants are forced to severely throttle production. At the mo-ment bioenergy as a renewable energy source still has the right to feed in but this may change in the future. F i g u r e 1 shows how severe this problem can get. The po-tential over generation shown refers to the ramp need thermal plants would have to provide for high PV inputs during a sunny day with a prediction up to 2020. The re-sulting “duck curve” illustrates how far thermal plants, potentially including bio-mass and waste plants, have to throttle their generation in a grid with high penetration of intermittent renewables. However, it also shows that without major investments in energy storage these plants will still be nec-essary for supply security during low radia-tion periods. Hence, flexible thermal gen-eration and/or mature and large capacity storage are a necessity in the future. Hybrid-isation can be one piece of the puzzle to ac-celerate the implementation of currently high cost energy storage technologies.

Types of batteries

To describe the battery types, it is important to understand the dynamics of a power grid. The grid demand fluctuates over time with predictable as well as unexpected highs and lows. In this article the highs in the morning and afternoon will be called peaks. They last over a couple of hours and arise due to the increasing power demand before and after a typical workday. The unexpected short-term fluctuations will be called spikes. They are punctual sharp increases and drops in demand that last from seconds to several minutes and result in a distortion of the overall smooth demand changes.For renewable energies the peaks are prob-lematic because they arise when intermit-

tent sources, such as PV and wind, do not generate at full capacity. The generated electricity needs to be shifted from around noon into the peak periods. Therefore, there is a tendency to combine grid con-nected PV power plants with battery stor-age to bridge the production gaps at night and shift the peak production into the peak demand periods.

Recent prominent examples for battery in-stallations are the 100 MW battery system in South Australia (F i g u r e 2 ) [7] and the world’s first battery augmented gas turbine power plant in Southern California with a 10 MW battery capacity [8]. In Germany, even a coal fired power plant is planning to add a 45 to 50 MW battery storage to further flexibilise electricity output to the grid [9].

While many articles refer to Lithium Ion batteries as the future of energy storage it is mostly neglected, that this technology in-cludes a large variety of different cell types with different chemical compositions and hence a different electric behavior. It is not the goal of this paper to differentiate be-tween all variations, however, in order to understand why batteries are advantageous for hybridisation and put them in the right perspective it is important to understand that two types of specialized batteries exist.

The first type is the energy cell. It can be found almost everywhere in our digitized world. These cells power our smartphones, laptops, tablets, electric bicycles and much more. They are designed to be charged and discharge over extended periods of time with a low output, resulting in low C-rates (ratio of capacity and power output) of up to max. 4C. Charging these cells takes equally long. They cannot handle high power outputs because it leads to acceler-ated aging. Energy cells are common for the combination with PV and help cover the demand peaks where they can be slow-ly discharged during the morning and af-ternoon and charged around noon.

Power cells on the other hand are designed with the opposite goal. They can be charged and discharged very quickly, re-

sulting in high C-rates above 4C to 10C. The different chemical composition of power cells allows such fast charge/dis-charge rates without accelerated aging but with the downside of a higher specific in-vestment, € per kWh. Since such batteries can provide more power at once without being damaged, less installed capacity is needed to reach high power outputs com-pared to an equivalent energy cell battery. Due to their high C-rates they are perfectly fit to cover sudden demand spikes and smoothen out the load curve.In summary, without detailing its different subcategories, power and energy cells are readily available from multiple suppliers. The choice of a battery storage system and the project business case strongly depends on the application and the local conditions. At this point in time more energy cells are being installed but with increasing inter-mittent generation this might change in the near future.

Technical concepts

As can be seen in F i g u r e 3 , the integra-tion of a battery system into an existing or newly build power plant is simple because only the electrical connection behind the generator needs to be considered and the battery can be placed where space is avail-able. Containerised and building integrated battery storage solutions are available. At the grid connection of the power plant a splitter is installed. From an electrical point of view the battery and the grid are now two parallel loads for the power plant. Between splitter and power plant a switch is installed to connect and disconnect the battery as de-sired. Most of the time only the grid will serve as a load and the battery is idle and disconnected as indicated by the green switch and arrows in F i g u r e 3 . In case the electricity demand in the grid drops, the plant can continue to generate at full capac-ity while the battery serves as a temporary load. The blue arrows in F i g u r e   3 show that during demand peaks/spikes the bat-tery can serve as additional capacity and feed into the grid parallel to the power plant. In case of a grid interruption (red X in the diagram), which would normally result in an emergency plant shutdown, the battery can serve as a buffer, winning the operators time to allow a save shutdown of all equip-ment. This is indicated by the red arrow in the drawing. The dashed square shows the position of the switch for each scenario.

Case studies

Battery storage solutions differ a lot de-pending on the project requirements. Hence, there is no single solution and case studies are an appropriate way to demon-strate the different benefits. The following two case studies consider different solu-tions for a waste to energy plant in Germa-ny and a biomass plants in Fiji.

Case study Germany

In Germany the share of PV and wind en-ergy capacity increased significantly from 12.3 GW in 2002 to 99 GW in 2017 [10]. While both substitute fossil generation its intermittent nature is a challenge for grid operators. As mentioned, the only non-fluctuating renewable energies independ-ent of weather conditions are biomass, hy-dro- and geothermal energy. The latter two being rather scarce in Germany. Further-more, PV and wind energy cannot provide the same system services as biomass plants do, especially the spinning reserve.PV and wind energy supplies can and do collapse or rise randomly. Despite good weather forecasts it remains a challenge to meet this oscillation of generation in short intervals with a conventional grid struc-ture. Even modern gas turbines, being the fastest reacting power plants, require at least 10 minutes to reach full capacity [11]. This leads to a distortion of the supply graph that can only be seen when looking at minutely or 15 minutely intervals. Bat-tery augmented biomass and waste to en-ergy plants find themselves in a good posi-tion to partly polish said oscillations within the grid. The distributed nature of these plant enables grid response on a regional level close to potential bottlenecks.

With an integrated battery such plants could participate in the intraday market where energy prices and margins are much higher than in the day-ahead-market or in fixed power purchase agreements. Addi-tionally, they could participate in the bal-ancing power market by quickly reducing capacity (charging the battery) or adding capacity (discharging the battery). Partici-pating in this market can create additional revenue. For example, typical WtE electric-ity prices are fixed within a range of 20-30 €/MWh. However, intraday prices can be significantly higher. F i g u r e 4 shows the week 52 of 2017 where electricity prices reached 125 €/MWh. Such price fluctua-tions occur regularly and are likely to in-crease with continuous deployment of wind and PV without energy storage.Battery systems are modular which is a commercialization benefit as operators can test the technical integration at small scale before entering into larger financial com-mitment. Depending on the storage require-ments a combination of energy and power cells might make sense to maximize profit.

Case study Fiji

Fiji, like many other island states, sets itself apart from Germany in two ways. Firstly, the share of fluctuating renewable energy

in the grid is much lower with fifty-five per-cent of electricity deriving from hydro en-ergy and fourty percent from diesel and heavy fuel oil (data from 2015) [13]. Sec-ondly, the power plant portfolio is much smaller, less diverse and less redundant. Ad-ditionally, there is no opportunity to com-pensate electricity shortfalls or surplus through extended grid infrastructure. Typi-cally, the diesel generator fleet covers peak and augments base load. Hence, they are oversized to cover peak demand needed only for a couple of times a year. This results in frequent part-load operation. By invest-ing US$ 45m in its first 12 MW biomass plant (see F i g u r e 5 ), the island has shown its willingness to further commit to renew-able energies and take advantage of its nat-ural resources. This investment made sense, considering that the feed-in tariff of the plant lies at US$ 155/MWh, which is US$ 56 /MWh below the cost of diesel generation.By making the biomass plant flexible, the need to install spare diesel generator ca-pacity would be reduced. The plant could charge the battery during low demand pe-riods, such as at night, and the battery can discharge during sudden demand spikes, substituting high cost and carbon intense diesel generation, while benefiting from higher electricity prices during these short periods. With such a technology combina-tion the typical load profile of Fiji’s main island, see F i g u r e 6 , could be satisfied with demand spikes being partially cov-ered by the battery. The very fast response time of milliseconds would enhance fre-quency control as well.For the operator another benefit can be re-alised. The grid in developing nations is often unstable, leading to frequent black-out. Blackouts force plants into emergency shutdowns, increasing wear and tear of the plant components and subsequently rising maintenance costs. For the 12 MW plant a 6 MWh battery would be sufficient for a 30 minute shut down procedure. This is need-ed to store the electricity otherwise wasted

during an emergency shutdown. Addition-ally, the battery can black-start the plant.

Summary

Battery storage solutions are likely to find wider implementation in future energy sys-tems as standalone and hybrid solutions coupled to various energy sources, includ-ing PV, wind and gas turbines. First instal-lations are already in operation and many more in planning stage.Battery augmented bioenergy and waste to energy plants have the unique opportunity to increase revenue by shifting production from low and high price periods and pro-viding ancillary grid services. This repre-sents an expansion from the typically fixed power purchase agreements. Furthermore, the more flexible operation can reduce op-eration and maintenance costs by reducing material stress during ramp up/down pro-cedures.At the moment the economic case for such a solution strongly depends on the electric-ity price fluctuation, like in Germany, or particular location conditions, such as weak grid infrastructure and high cost die-sel generation as is the case of Fiji. Right now, battery costs are still comparatively high and projects often require additional financial support. However, battery prices are decreasing rapidly and it seems very likely that standalone and hybrid battery solutions will soon be of interest for a broad range of applications.
