Exploring storage benefits from a system operators perspective
Venteea, France
The Venteea project site is located in the Northeast of France, a rural area with high
penetration of wind power generation. Another challenge faced by the system operator is
that the MV substation at the end of the transmission line was seeing high voltage swings.
The goal of the project was to implement an energy storage system on a rural 20 kV network
in the vicinity of two decentralized wind farms (6 and 12 MW) and to help stabilize the high
voltage swings of the MV substation. For this project, two Schneider Electric ES Box units (1
MW each) were installed, along with 2 MW / 1.3 MWh Li-ion batteries.
