Market attractiveness analysis of battery energy storage
This imbalance often results in grid instability and compromises power quality. Battery energy storage systems (BESS) store excess renewable energy and discharge the
Sunita Dubey and Hyunjung Lee share how Vietnam is leveraging Battery Energy Storage Systems to stabilize their grid and accelerate the energy transition.
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. In a significant development, Vietnam Electricity (EVN) has secured approval for its first pilot BESS project with a capacity of 50 MW/50MWh.
The declining cost of lithium battery cells, coupled with technological advancements, has made BESS increasingly affordable and accessible, according to Contemporary Amperex Technology, the world's largest battery manufacturer. Vietnam should capitalise on this trend to attract investment, create green jobs, and enhance energy security.
The plan also called for 300MW of battery storage deployment and 2,400MW of pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) by 2030. State-owned public power company Vietnam Electricity (VE), is participating in a 50MW/50MWh grid-scale BESS pilot project which marks a first step towards that BESS goal.
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.
