Is a battery energy storage system coming to Vietnam?

15 October 2021 – Vietnam’s pilot utility-scale battery energy storage system [BESS] will soon take shape in Khanh Hoa Province after an agreement was signed today between AMI AC Renewables and the U.S. Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City to formalize a US$2,962,000 grant from the latter to develop the project.

Can battery energy storage systems improve power system flexibility?

Recently, Vietnam’s National Power Transmission Corporation (EVNNPT) shared that it is looking into Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) among several technology options as an appropriate solution. This technology can enhance power system flexibility and enable high levels of renewable energy integration.

What are the different types of energy storage systems?

The need and role of energy storage systems: Energy storage technologies are divided into 4 main groups: (i) Thermal; (ii) Mechnical; (iii) Electrochemical; (iv) Electrical. According to international energy experts, when RE electricity rate reachs 15% up, the investment in energy storage system is economically efficient.

Is energy storage system a good investment?

According to international energy experts, when RE electricity rate reachs 15% up, the investment in energy storage system is economically efficient. So, in many countries over the world, the energy storage systems have become the necessary technologies in demand side management, RE and smart grid development.
