2 ESM Energy Storage Modules | Descriptive bulletin
Definition
An Energy Storage Module (ESM) is a packaged solution that
stores energy for use at a later time. The energy is usually
stored in batteries for specific energy demands or to effectively
optimize cost.
ESM can store electrical energy and supply it to designated
loads as a primary or supplementary source. Moreover, it provides a stable and continuous power supply regardless of the
supply source status. Voltage and frequency regulation can also
be improved by using ESM modules.
ESM contains inverters that rectify the AC energy into DC to
store in the batteries and then invert the DC energy into AC
energy. The energy inverted into AC power can be connected
to the electrical network at low (<1000 Volts) or medium voltage
(<40.5 kV).
ABB provides the necessary electrical, protective and monitoring equipment along with the battery system to utilize the
batteries safely with a pre-designed system designed to meet
ANSI, IEC, and other international standards. This will guarantee
a high level of energy continuity and superior power quality in a
safe and cost effective module.
The ESM enclosure is engineered to maintain the internal
temperature within the design limits as well as provide protection. Different temperature classes and protection degrees are
available according to the application and size. The degree of
protection for the ESM enclosure is designed according to IP or
NEMA standards.
ESM is available in several capacities with individual modules up
to 4 MW and an output voltage range from 120 volts to 40.5 kV
at 50 or 60 Hertz, single or three phase system.

Applications
ESM has different applications within the distribution network
aiming to improve the quality and continuity of the power at
optimal cost. The main applications of the ESM are:
Load shifting / time of use management: The practice of
altering the pattern of energy use so that on-peak energy use is
shifted to off-peak periods.
Graph number 1 below shows a peak shaving/load shifting
application. The blue line shows the customer demand profile,
which is peaking late in the afternoon. The purple line shows
what the Energy Storage Module is doing, charging early in
the morning when the demand is low and discharging when
the demand is peaking. The yellow line shows the net effect on
the electrical grid (a lower demand peak and a more balanced
demand).
Benefits:
a) Reduces the cost of energy by charging the system with low
priced energy and discharging later when the energy prices are
high
b) Shifts renewable generation to peak times, allowing for
participation in capacity markets as a dispatchable resource,
smoothing the renewable output
Renewable energy smoothing or ramp control: Reduces the
impact of quick changes in renewable generation levels. It can
be used to ensure that wind-farm ramp-rates (MW/min) are kept
within design limits and to eliminate rapid voltage and power
swings on the electrical grid.
Peak shaving: Peak shaving is related to Load Shifting. Both
are part of the demand management in which the ultimate goal
is to increase the load factor.
Graph number 2 on the next page shows a renewable smoothing ramp control application. The wind farm power is shown in
orange. The ESM system power is shown in blue. The black line
shows the net effect on the electrical grid (a gentler ramp slope
and lower variability).
Benefits:
a) Commercial and industrial customers reduce their energy
charges by improving their load factor
b) Utilities reduce the operational cost of generating power during peak periods (reducing the need for peaking units)
c) Investment in infrastructure is delayed because they have flatter loads with smaller peaks.
Renewable capacity firming: Helps maintain the power output
at a committed (firm) level for a period of time.

Frequency regulation: In this application, the ESM charges
and discharges in response to analog signals received every 1
to 4 seconds. The system supports the frequency on the grid
and keeps a state-of-charge of approximately 50%. ESM is an
attractive option for this application due to its rapid response
time.
Spinning reserves: In this application, the ESM remains
charged and responds in case of a generation or transmission
outages. Depending on the application need, the system can respond within milliseconds or minutes. The ESM supplies power
until the back-up generator is started and running.
This application allows the generators to work at optimum power, without the need to keep idle capacity for spinning reserves.
The system can also eliminate the need of having back-up
generators running idle.
Delay in line upgrades: An ESM can be placed electrically
downstream in a congested transmission system, helping to
reduce the overloads in the lines and delay investments in line
upgrades.
Power quality: An ESM helps protect the loads further downstream against short-duration events that affect the quality of
power delivered to the load.
Voltage and VAR support: An ESM can help to maintain the
grid voltage by injecting or absorbing reactive power (VAR)
Railroad applications: Accelerating a heavy train can expose
the grid to a peak load that traditionally necessitated extensive
investment in capacity expansion. An ESM unit can supply the
required acceleration power that is taken from the most recent
deceleration.
Outage management: ESM can provide power for short periods of time to a network reducing or eliminating the effect of a
temporary outage.

man-made emissions of carbon dioxide have propelled energy
efficiency to the top of the agenda in the boardroom, in public
debate and in public policy. Under this scenario, Energy Storage
Modules are a state-of-the-art technology which contributes to
raise the efficiency at every stage of the energy chain by:
− Increasing the capacity factor of generation, transmission and
distributions assets
− Improving the uniformity and efficiency with which electrical
energy is being used
− Raising Power Quality with better voltage and frequency
regulation as well as minimum interruptions
− Increasing the capacity factor of renewable energy sources in
order to make clean energy available for longer periods
− Providing a reliable source of energy to communities
An ESM module integrates batteries, transformers, and medium
and low voltage switchgear together with automation equipment
such as inverters in a galvanized steel enclosure. Completely
compartmented and segregated enclosures are available upon
request.
