6 FAQs about [Capital battery energy storage project]
What is the capital battery?
We pay our respects to their Elders past and present. The Capital Battery is a 100 MW stand-alone battery capable of storing up to 200 MWh of energy with up to 2 hours of power in reserve. 50 MW was committed as part of the ACT Government’s 2020 renewable energy auction, with a further 50 MW yet to be contracted.
When will the capital battery be fully operational?
The Capital Battery has 627 battery units and is expected to become completely operational by mid-2023. Doosan GridTech chief operating officer Wonyoung Ahn said: “We are honoured that Neoen has chosen Doosan to deliver its signature energy storage system in the ACT.
What does the capital battery consortium do?
The consortium is responsible for providing engineering, procurement, and construction services and managing a 20-year operations and maintenance program. The Capital Battery is connected to Australia’s national electricity grid via the transmission network.
Are battery storage costs based on long-term planning models?
Battery storage costs have evolved rapidly over the past several years, necessitating an update to storage cost projections used in long-term planning models and other activities. This work documents the development of these projections, which are based on recent publications of storage costs.
Will Neoen build a capital battery?
Neoen committed to building the Capital Battery as part of its winning bid in the ACT’s 2020 renewable energy auction, where it won a 100 MW power purchase agreement for Goyder South Stage 1 Wind Farm in South Australia. In line with its develop-to-own business model, the company will be the long-term owner and operator of the battery.
Do longer duration batteries have a lower capital cost?
On a $/kWh basis, longer duration batteries have a lower capital cost, and on a $/kW basis, shorter duration batteries have a lower capital cost. Figure 6 (left) also demonstrates why it is critical to cite the duration whenever providing a capital cost in $/kWh or $/kW. Figure 6.
