Joan Groizard” Secretary of Energy of the Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challengeaccompanied by Rafael Benjumea” chair from the Photovoltaic Spanish Union (UNEF) They were in charge of opening this appointment today. The days (11 and 12 February) will relate to the hot topics of these two sectors such as the new capacity mechanisms, the presentation of Excellence Seal in UNEF Storage Or the integration of projects in the territory.
Joan Groizard” Secretary of EnergyHe has emphasized “That we are a reference in Europe and in the world in renewable energy sources and attraction of the new question that is looking for clean and attractive technologies. Now we are going further, it’s time to decrease all sectors“.
The Regular situation regarding storage and the presentation of Excellence Seal in UNEF Storageare two of the hot problems that are being tackled, which will contain the most relevant institutions and actors in the sector.
The national photovoltaic sector has asked for obstacles that are eliminated a rapid, efficient and economic use of storage. It emphasizes the need to generate a reward frame that gives price -long -term signals in the long term, by competing mechanisms, as is the case with generation sources.
With the participation of around 50 experts and more than 500 people present from different companies in the national photovoltaic sector and institutional representatives, it has been shown that this We are at an important time to culminate the energy transitionin which The implementation of storage and green hydrogen will play a determining role.
III Green Storage and Hydrogen Summit
The Photovoltaic Spanish UnionMajority Sector Association of Solar Energy in Spain, which already has more than 800 associated companies, has celebrated today, with a thunderous success of Call, the first day of the III Green Storage and Hydrogen Summitthat is open Joan Groizard, State Secretary for EnergyAnd that will have more than 50 national and international experts in the sector.
‘We are a reference in Europe and in the world in renewable energy sources and attraction of the new question that is looking for clean and attractive technologies. Now we go further and it’s time to invent all sectors. We must ensure that each of our decisions are individually useful and that together they are optimal for the system“He said Quarry.
During the start of the top to which more than 500 people have been, Rafael Benjumea, president of UNEF, He has claimed many needs that still have to be developed, such as “Make storage a priority that has the necessary economic stimuli for its development, eliminating administrative and ignorance barriers and promoting hydrogen, developing a local European strategy comparable to that what has been done with solar energy ».
Both the State Secretary and the President of the Association have agreed on the need to promote storage in our country. So they claim that “There is still a lot to doAnd remember that energy storage is “Just as important for a photovoltaic installation as the solar panel itself, because it maximizes the use of photovoltaic energy, it generates an economic advantage by expanding the hours of cheap energy and stabilizing the price of electricity and stabilizing an environmental benefit, so that the Activation of the activation is avoided combined cycles “.
During the first day, great current issues of the sector were tackled, such as the new capacity mechanisms, the regulatory situation, both nationally and in the various autonomous communities, the safety of industrial batteries or the challenges and opportunities of projects in the areas and their environmental integration And with society.
The 10 barriers that are being demolished at storage
UNEF has exposed the most important barriers that are confronted with hybridization storage, independent storage and storage on the islands.
Barriers for hybridations
- In some regions, adding storage includes the restart of the processing of the photovoltaic plant with which it is hybridized (with the resulting risk of not reaching the milestones).
- One It proposes to change or clarify the regulation in ‘frequent questions’ that photovoltaic and storage can and must be processed in parallel.
- There are many facilities with nearly 50 MW installed power that do not add batteries because it would imply a substantive organ and restart organ change (and would not reach a milestones).
- One Provides two solutions: Consider access capacity instead of installed capacity (when storage is added, the access capacity is not changed) or you consider each generation and/or storage module separately instead of the power of the set of the entire set of facilities.
- Need for a new simplified environmental evaluation for the storage module.
- One It suggests adding an addendum to the environmental evaluation of the generation project (only for electrochemical storage and only within the perimeter that has already been evaluated for the generation installation).
- If there are several generation of facilities with an evacuation infrastructure that the transport network has in common, only one of the generation facilities can add a storage module that consumes networkergy.
- One It proposes to change the regulation so that all facilities that evacuation infrastructure share can add storage that can use networkergy.
- When storage is added to a generation installation, the installed capacity is considered the sum of photovoltaic and storage forces, although the storage is connected to direct current (and benefit from the same investors as the photovoltaic).
- One It proposes to regard the ability of investors as installed capacity, so that the powers are not added in the case of storage that connect in direct current (and benefit from photovoltaic investors).
Barriers for independent storage (‘stand -Alone’)
- It is not clear whether you can request the explanation of Public Utility (DUP) for the evacuation lines of independent storage projects (‘Stand -Alone’).
- One It proposes to change the regulation or to clarify in ‘frequent questions’ that the evacuation lines of the storage facilities ‘Stand -Alone’ can opt for DUP.
- There are usually no autonomous urban regulation with regard to which land use is compatible with storage.
- One It proposes to determine which land use is suitable for storage facilities.
Barriers for storage on islands
- The price in islands is formed from the average price of the Omie adjusted according to the share of demand at every hour
- One It proposes to change the regulation in the extraveninular areas, so that the new facilities have an adequate price signal for storage.
Barriers for the accountant storage
- Increasing the variable part of electric toll (because the storage behind accountant increases the self -consumed energy and the networks deconged) is essential.
- The regulation of the independent aggregator must be developed so that the storage behind the accountant can participate in adjustment and balance services.
A top with great storage and green hydrogen experts
The top, which will end tomorrow on Wednesday, will deepen major issues of today, such as the European Panorama for Green Hydrogen, as well as the strategies for the development of new projects for this sector, the scenario of financing in the coming years or the possible income that Companies with hybridized storage processes can generate, among other things.
During the days, the UNEF Storage Excellence Sealwho wants to determine the standards for the best practices in the development of these facilities, promoting investments in these technologies with social-economic, environmental, circular economy and management criteria. This seal is presented as a guarantee for the society of sustainable and safe storage development in our country, both through hybridization and isolated storage.
