전력저장전지시스템(BESS)의 도입전망과 경제성 분석

Economic Assessment and Introduction Prospect of BESS

The load factor is continuously decreasing with the increase of the daytime power demand so that the load levelling is required. Since the pumped storage power plant for the load levelling has some problems, new storage techniques such as the battery energy storage system (BESS) had been developed in the early 1980s. The MW BESS had been already interconnected to power system in the developed countries, while the 20KW BESS was developed and is being operated by KERI and KEPCO in our country, the development project of MW BESS is being persued now. Then, it is important to evaluate the economics and prospect of BESS. This paper presents the economic target and introduction prospect of BESS in korea.
