Existing Tariff Schemes in European Countries and design of Feed in tariffs for promotion of Energy Storage Technologies

Faster market integration of new energy technologies could be achieved by use of proper support mechanisms that will create favourable market conditions for these technologies. The best examples for support mechanisms presented in the last two decades are different schemes for promotion of renewable energy sources (RES). In the EU, the most successful supporting scheme are feed in tariffs which significantly increased utilization of renewable energy sources in Germany, Spain, Portugal, Denmark and many other EU countries. Even though of successful feed in tariffs for RES promotion, in many cases the RES penetration is limited by power system requirements linked to the intermittency of RES sources and technical capabilities of the grids. These problems could be solved by implementation of energy storage technologies like reversible or pumped hydro, hydrogen, batteries or some other technology that will be used for balancing, system stabilization or dump load. In these paper feed in tariffs are discussed with proposal for their application for energy storage technologies. After successful application on islands and outmost regions tariffs for energy storages should be also applied in mainland power systems. Increased use of energy storage could optimize the existing assets in the market.
