中國儲(chǔ)能網(wǎng)訊：據(jù)報(bào)道，世界銀行計(jì)劃將儲(chǔ)能部署作為其“擴(kuò)展太陽能”計(jì)劃的一個(gè)組成部分，到目前為止，該計(jì)劃只側(cè)重于促進(jìn)大規(guī)模太陽能招標(biāo)，主要是在非洲實(shí)施。
世界銀行將在未來幾年內(nèi)推出的“可擴(kuò)展太陽能和儲(chǔ)能”（SSS）新的計(jì)劃將在太陽能光伏與電池儲(chǔ)能技術(shù)配套的公用事業(yè)規(guī)模招標(biāo)中開展工作。
世界銀行委托了意大利技術(shù)咨詢機(jī)構(gòu)RINA公司來探討此類投標(biāo)的可行性。
RINA公司董事長兼首席執(zhí)行官Ugo Salerno表示，當(dāng)今儲(chǔ)能技術(shù)和成本方面的發(fā)展超過這個(gè)計(jì)劃預(yù)期。 RINA公司還與行業(yè)內(nèi)的領(lǐng)先企業(yè)進(jìn)行了廣泛的磋商，以確?？蓴U(kuò)展太陽能和儲(chǔ)能（SSS）項(xiàng)目的發(fā)展對這些公司具有吸引力。
RINA公司表示，該方案主要針對發(fā)展中國家和新興市場，但并不特別限于某個(gè)地區(qū)或國家。Salerno指出，與當(dāng)?shù)睾献骰锇楣餐_發(fā)這些項(xiàng)目時(shí)，質(zhì)量控制和對方風(fēng)險(xiǎn)可能是關(guān)鍵考慮因素。這些項(xiàng)目還需要遵守績效標(biāo)準(zhǔn)和當(dāng)?shù)胤ㄒ?guī)，以滿足儲(chǔ)能系統(tǒng)在整個(gè)生命周期的全球融資和業(yè)績預(yù)期。
他還表示，蓄電池是目前可再生能源領(lǐng)域最重要的發(fā)展領(lǐng)域。他補(bǔ)充說：“隨著技術(shù)的發(fā)展，蓄電池的成本將日益降低，這意味著可再生能源正在自給自足，并且越來越不需要依賴于傳統(tǒng)能源。如果儲(chǔ)技能術(shù)出現(xiàn)巨大飛躍，我們將無法預(yù)料到發(fā)展到什么樣的前景。”
盡管擴(kuò)展太陽能和儲(chǔ)能（SSS）項(xiàng)目的目的是普遍適用，并避免優(yōu)先針對任何特定國家或地區(qū)，但Salerno還指出，在用電高峰時(shí)期遭受電網(wǎng)容量限制的地區(qū)，采用該計(jì)劃將是最有利的。RINA公司目前正在幫助世界銀行建立項(xiàng)目框架和確定項(xiàng)目的可持續(xù)性標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。
迄今為止，最初的“擴(kuò)展太陽能”（Scaling Solar）項(xiàng)目對于在贊比亞、埃塞俄比亞、馬達(dá)加斯加，以及塞內(nèi)加爾推出的光伏招標(biāo)進(jìn)行了監(jiān)督，降低了招標(biāo)價(jià)格，這令人印象深刻。
Salerno指出，公用事業(yè)規(guī)模的太陽能和儲(chǔ)能部署在非洲剛起步，去年在肯尼亞的首批項(xiàng)目中只有一個(gè)項(xiàng)目得到財(cái)政支持。（中國儲(chǔ)能網(wǎng)獨(dú)家編譯，轉(zhuǎn)載請注明來源）
World Bank plans ‘Scaling Solar and Storage’ program

The World Bank plans to make energy storage an integral part of its ‘Scaling Solar’ program, that until now has been focused purely on facilitating large-scale solar tendering, predominantly in Africa.
The new Scaling Solar and Storage (SSS) program, which has yet to be formerly announced and is expected to be rolled out over the next couple of years, would work on utility-scale tenders that pair solar PV with battery storage technology.
The World Bank engaged Italy-based technical advisory RINA to explore the feasibility of such tenders.
Ugo Salerno, chairman and CEO of RINA, told Energy-Storage.News that the program planning takes into consideration anticipated developments in storage technology and cost over the intended roll-out period. RINA also undertook extensive consultation with leading players in the industry to ensure that SSS project development would be appealing to them.
RINA’s understanding is that the program is aimed at developing countries and emerging markets in general and isn’t specifically limited to any one geography.
Salerno noted that quality control and counter-party risk are likely to be key considerations when developing these projects in concert with local partners. Projects will also need to adhere to performance standards and regulations that can meet global financing and performance expectations for the full lifecycle of the energy storage systems.
He also said batteries are “the most important field of development” in renewable energy at present – adding: “With existing technology, batteries are now becoming affordable, which means that the renewable energy is becoming self-sufficient. More and more you will not need traditional generation to be put aside renewables.
“We don’t even know what will happen if there is a quantum leap in [storage] technology.”
While the SSS is designed to be universally applicable and avoid preferentially targeting any specific countries or regions, Salerno also pointed out that the program would be of most benefit in regions which suffer from grid capacity constraints at peak times.
RINA is currently helping the World Bank on building the framework and setting the standards for the SSS to ensure project bankability.
To date, the original ‘Scaling Solar’ programme has overseen PV tenders rolled out across Zambia, Ethiopia, Madagascar and Senegal, and achieved some impressive price reductions.
Utility-scale solar and storage is fledgling in Africa, with one of its first such projects in Kenya receiving financial backing last year.
