Title: Viability of the Dr. Ten Battery on farms.
By: Eva Visser MSc EC student.
Summary:
Energy storage is an addition to the energy system that is recently getting more attention due to two changes in the energy landscape. Stimulated by environmental concerns there is a shift from centralized fossil-fuel based energy generation to distributed renewable energy production. The integration of the rapidly increasing distributed renewable electricity production will on the long-term have negative consequences for the electricity grid. Furthermore the subsidy on feed-in tariffs is changing which will make self-consumption more attractive. Both changes create a stimulating environment for energy storage. This research focusses on energy storage on residential and community scale. On these small scales batteries are a suitable storage technology.
This research compares the proven lithium-ion battery with the Dr. Ten battery which is still in its development phase. As a research case real life data of two farms are considered. The research examines the viability of the Dr. Ten battery on farms with a multi criteria decision analysis. Technical, economical, Socio-institutional and environmental aspects are considered and combined to form a final recommendation. The analysis of the farms, forms a basis for an outlook on the implementation of battery storage on a larger scale.
