4 FAQs about North Korea energy storage equipment BESS

Why does Korean power system plan to provide Bess?

Due to the wide range of BESS capabilities as mentioned above, Korean power system plans to provision BESS to relieve generation curtailment and to provide FR service in the short-term applications, and to maintain frequency stability by providing FFR service in a low-inertia system for the long-term applications.

When is a Bess allowed to operate if a power system exceeds FDB?

As previously mentioned, the BESS is allowed to operate if the power system exceeds a certain level of frequency. Instead, if the system operation is within the range of frequency dead band (∆ fdb), the SOC of BESS will be managed to be close to the desired SOC setpoint.

How many companies are involved in the Bess project?

In total, 14 companies were involved, including HD Hyundai Electric, Hyosung Heavy Industries, LS Electric, Samsung SDI, LG Energy Solution, and others. HD Hyundai Electric announced the completion and start of operation of its 336MW BESS for the utility a couple of months ago.

What topics will be covered in a Bess workshop?

Topics covered include macro-level policy, supply chain dynamics, financing strategies, co-location considerations, safety measures, microgrid insights and more. KEPCO, South Korea's biggest electric utility, has inaugurated a portfolio of large-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) assets.
