+ This pioneering facility ispart of Projact STORE which hasa Euro 11 million budget
+ lis aim isto demonstrate the technical and financial viability of large-scale storage systemsto improve
the reliability and operation of the grid In stand networks,
{As pat of Project Store, Endesa isto indall a 1 MW demonstration plant on the idand of Gran Canaria
to tos the commercial viability af energy storage technology using lithium-ion batteries in island
networks,
‘Ono of the aims of this facility is to demonstrate how energy storage systems can help improve gid
reliability and operation in island environments while alse favouring the Incorporation of renewable
energies Multinational group Saft, the world leader in the design and manufacture of indusial
batteries will supply the lithium-ion technology.
(Once connected to the grid the plant will sipply 3 MWn of power to help manage peak demand and
tho load of the line to which It Is connected as wall as providing ancillary services such as regulating
frequency and controlling tension,
Hoaded up by Endesa, Project STORE is aimed at creating large-scale dorage systems which are
financially viable, Project STORE has three demonstration plants in the Canary Islands
+ Lithium-ion battery system, with total installed capacity of 1MW'SMWh
“A flywheel with total installed capacity of 0.SMWW/TEMWs
+ Ultra-condensers with total installed capacity of 4MWIZOMWs
With budget of Euro 11 milion, this project, the fit of its kind in Spain and the mos: important in
Europe, cartes out research into energy sorage in Idand networts. Its party financed by The Cente
for Indusrial Technological Development (CDT!) (a Business Public Entity, answering to the Minisry of
Economy and Competitiveness) and the European Union.
lis aim is to demonstrate the technical and financial viability of large-scale storage systems as well as
Improving the reliability and operation of the gid in Idand networs. The project will be directly
appliod to power sysioms as a means of managing temporary Imbalances belwoon generation and
domand, thus helping to maka transmission grids more flexible and reliable ard ennancing both supply
{ually and system operation
‘Storage systems can also help solve the problems innerent in isolated systems, such as sland networks
whore the grids sabilty isaffected by unmanageable tochnologles asis the caso with renewables, and
where conventional generation coss are higher than in the mainland sysiom due to variable cos such
25 fuel. Thess technologies are particularly usoful in isolated systems with low insalled capacity asis
the case with the Spanish non-mainland systems
