Our Interest in Energy Storage


There are many benefits from energy storage:
Time shifting Must offer, must comply Less curtailment Reduced T&D losses Deferring T&D upgrades VAR (reactive power) support Peak shaving Ramp support Improved power quality Improved ancillary services Renewable energy integration

AESO Wind Forecasting Study


Wind power forecasting pilot project (20062008):
To trial wind power forecasting methods and providers To identify the most effective method(s) to forecast wind power in Alberta To identify the most effective providers of wind power forecasts To educate industry on the capabilities of wind power forecasting in Alberta

Industry working group was formed by AESO Report available on AESO website

Feasibility of high temperature electrolysis for energy storage


Project co-initiated and co-funded by AI-EES and AITF, conducted by AITF Aimed to:
Establish how high temperature electrolysis could contribute to energy storage in Alberta Establish status of technology Develop a path forward towards deployment of the technology in Alberta

Why high temperature electrolysis


Hydrogen is seen as a key energy storage medium Compared to low temperature electrolysis, high temperature (600C-1000C) consumes less electrical energy (more thermal) Carried out in a solid oxide electrolysis cell (reversed solid oxide fuel cell)

Current status of high temp electrolysis


High temperature electrolysis development is ongoing and interest is increasing
Main issues
Cell reliability Cell durability

Key development areas

Current development status renders cost estimates highly uncertain Outlook


AITF has proposed a set of activities which would aim to build a field scale demonstration prototype in 5 years
