What does it mean to be “hybrid”?
Hybrid Lessons
Better performance can be achieved through faster response and increased power capacity.
More efficient use of combustion engine can be delivered through steady throttling.
Ancillary functions of the vehicle, such as braking, can be delivered by using energy storage to recycle energy.
Energy storage can be integrated into the electric grid to deliver a similar set of benefits. The result will be a Hybrid Power System.

Drivers: RPS goals creating a need for capacity and ancillary services.

Different Services Would Require Different Type of Storage Device
Battery Options:–Li-ion: quick charge/discharge, more efficient–Flow (Zinc-Bromide): longer charge/discharge, smaller MW units, more expensive
Potential Service Options:–Ancillary Services markets
RegulationResponsive ReserveVAR supportBlack Start
–Internal plant usage (auxiliary load, demand mitigation)–Transmission constraints (intermittent renewable sources)–Price arbitrage

Near-term Value in U.S.: ISO Ancillary Services Markets
Regulation is a near zero-energy service compensating for minute-to-minute fluctuations in total system load and uncontrolled generation.

Proof of Solution System: AES has built and interconnected a 2 MW grid-scale battery energy storage system using Lithium Ion batteries.
This system was validated by KEMA Consulting for Ancillary Services applications. The scope included safety, performance, and application testing
Operational 2 x 1MW system installed at IPL substation.
Meets IEEE 519, 1547
Power factor of 0.96
Less than 1-sec response time to any dispatch level
Over 90% round-trip efficient in regulation test
10
Four second dispatch area control error (ACE) signal on 1MW system(4 hr test) shows manageable thermals due to high system efficiency.
11
Advanced batteries provide “instant” response to +1MW to -1MW swing.

An AES commissioned dynamic simulation study of NYISO, PJM, and CAISO shows significant system benefits from energy storage systems with 15 min of storage capability.
Conclusions:“…What is extremely interesting is that the effectiveness of the storage device increases if the AGC is adapted to take advantage of a fast-acting device that also needs to be "repaid" to restore its energy levels in a finite period of time. The improvement in ACE itself is not the major benefit but the ability to achieve regulation services using storage devices with lower energy-to-power ratios (shorter duration periods) may be very important. The reduced capital cost implied by the lower energy-to-power ratio translates into lower overall costs for regulation services from the storage device.”
“Storage devices responding to the filtered ACE signal are more effective than conventional generation at providing AGC regulation, in terms of system ACE performance, when used as described in this paper. This strongly implies that a lesser MW amount of regulation procured from storage and utilized as the primary resource for responding to ACE can be used as compared with the volume of regulation procured today from conventional resources.”
“Depending on the relative extent of storage used for regulation, the use of storage also results in decreased regulation signals to conventional units, which provides benefits in terms of incremental maintenance and possibly reduced adverse emissions effects.”

System benefits from a storage enabled grid:
“Better and Cheaper Today”–Increasing capability of existing generating units by delivering ancillary services from dedicated energy storage units.
–Same cost for better quality service – “faster response to variations”
–Better use of existing assets – “steady throttling of plants”
“Enable the Future”–Faster response to support varying nature of new supply.
–Lower emissions – “recycled energy”
