What & Why

What Is Dynamic Grid Support: How It Works

The grid sometimes requires additional capacity, which is often not immediately available and expensive. This is where your energy storage system and dynamic grid support come into play, especially if you own a static UPS system. You can enable revenue generation without compromising your IT load through grid balancing services. Watch the 3-minute video below to learn how Dynamic Grid Support technology can help you use your battery energy storage system to reduce your carbon footprint, adapt to the major shift in the energy landscape, and improve your site’s availability, while lowering your energy costs and consumption.

How using a Grid Interactive UPS for Dynamic Grid Support

Interactive grid UPS technology is poised to help the grid be more efficient, more compatible with renewable power generation, and help improve environmental impact. By using a grid-interactive UPS from Vertiv™, facilities can participate in grid balancing services such as fast frequency response, and demand management (peak shaving). By adding extra capacity to the existing UPS battery storage for backup power, users can potentially earn revenue from stored energy. And users are ready. According to global research from OMDIA, 90% of respondents expect smart, grid-ready UPS to be interacting with the electric grid in four years or less.

First-Class Load Protection and Additional Revenue

The Liebert® EXL S1 UPS can provide frequency regulation by controlling the input power to support services such as frequency regulation-up, regulation-down, or both via charging and discharging of the battery. Dedicated controls always maintain the necessary battery energy to support the critical load in event of an outage. When operating in Dynamic Grid Support, the UPS provides a fast response to react to the grid services commands. The total response time from the moment it receives the signal for the Dynamic Grid Support, to the time it reaches the specified power, is within 0.5 second. Offering your site’s energy demand flexibility and grid frequency control will enable access to new revenue streams and cost saving opportunities. With a focus on your site’s primary function, these benefits can be realized with Liebert EXL S1 without operational impacts.

Dynamic Grid Support – Everything You Need to Know

Read the most frequently asked questions about how the Dynamic Grid Support technology allows you to leverage your UPS battery energy storage system to enable additional revenue and cost saving opportunities:

 

Why should I use my battery energy storage systems for Dynamic Grid Support now?

 

Intermittent renewables continue to challenge conventional energy generation. As a result, frequency variations caused by momentary imbalances are higher and more recurring. Data centers and other types of critical infrastructure have a key role to play in this shifting energy landscape, and are the ideal candidate to implement grid balancing services. This is due to the presence of assets such as battery energy storage, which could be maximized to generate new revenue streams as well as cost saving opportunities, and ultimately alleviate grid infrastructure constraints.

Does energy prosuming pose any risks to my critical IT load?

 

It's critical to point out that enabling your energy storage systems to dynamically support the grid when needed does not impact, or threaten in any way, the primary mission of the UPS which is to protect the load. The capacity used for grid services is in addition to the core energy redundancy required to protect the load. We should make sure that we always have sufficient kWh of UPS battery capacity to back-up the load in case of any interruption to the grid supply. This can be hardwired within the UPS control or through the external site controller.

How can my energy storage system support the smart grid?

 

The trading business model proposed to contract these services are either direct (data center owners invest on the assets bid to the grid system operator, benefitting entirely from the revenues generated by grid services), indirect (the aggregator finances fully or partially the investment and benefits from the revenues of the grid interactive program) or hybrid (joint approach between Vertiv and aggregators to grant market access and participation in grid services for the end user).

Can I legally use my energy storage to export power back to the grid?

 

It depends on the local regulations and standards for each country. The UPS control system is able to work in a bidirectional way, however, safety and grid interface requirements need to be verified for the specific site before determining if export capabilities of active power can be unlocked. Also, if you choose a direct approach, rather than via an aggregator, you will have to manage contracts and tenders directly.

Does this mean the grid can control my UPS energy storage system?

 

No, the grid service external controller detects the grid unbalance and generates a command to the UPS which in turn adjusts its input power demand by charging/discharging the batteries. In other words, the UPS self-contained control system will allow the grid support only if the operation is totally safe for your critical IT load.
