Cost per Litihium Battery packs Batteries’ cost are decreasing
dramatically since five years ago
Use of energy storage technology enhances the
VRE up to turn the facility into a ”grid-friendly
system”.
Energy Storage Capacity increase the possibilities of the
VRE applications, enabling them to build smart grids
with interactive capabilities.

Reactive Power Capability
• The total power factor shall be from 0.85 lagging to 0.85 leading at the point of interconnection (POI).
• The aim is that PVF can ramp the reactive power from 0.85 lagging to 0.85, leading, in smooth continuous fashion, at the POI.
Frequency response/regulation
PV facility should response like a classical governor due to primary frequency regulation.
Power Ramp Rate control
• The PV facility shall be able to control the rate of change of power output during some circumstances.
• The maximum change allowable is 10% of the rated power per minute. PV plant has to reduce power under utility demands (curtailment).
Voltage Regulation System (VRS)
The PV facility shall contribute to the grid’s voltage regulation, following the settings and reference of the utility’s operator with a continuously variable and acting close loop.
Frequency Ride-Through
The frequency protection will be set under PREPA requirements.
Voltage Ride-Through
The generators shall be online despite of the presence of ‘voltage sags’ (LVRT) and Overvoltage (OVRT) in the grid.
