Project ID P176114Component 1 Installation of Battery Energy Storage System BESS with solar PV plants establishment of an Energy Management System EMS and Supervision Consultancy estimated cost US 249 million of which IBRD is US 177 million CTF is US34 millionand UHE own fund is US38 million. 29.Subcomponent 1.1 BESS with PV plants and EMS for provision of ancillary services This subcomponent will support installation of BESS and solar PV plants and an energy management system. In total 197 MW of BESS willbe installed at four hydro power plant sites Kyiv Kaniv Kremenchuk and Seredniodniprovska. Additionally 35.9 MWp of solar PV plants will be installed. All facilities including connection power lines will be installed within the precincts of UHEs HPP territories. These sites are identified based on land availability and transmission capacities. The BESS will provide ancillary services to the grid particularly FCR and a-FRR. Those BESSs will be under coordinated operation with HPPs and solar PVs through a newly installed EMS so that a wide range of grid services is provided seamlesslyand chargingdischarging operation is optimized. The total size of the BESS is determined to meet the FCR requirement for ENTSO-E synchronization and then allocated to each site taking into consideration the connected HPP unit sizes as well as land availability. The proposed BESS will provide the necessary ancillary services to the grid which will improve flexibility of UkrES. Therefore the proposed investment will enable synchronization with the ENTSO-E improve integration of VRE sourcesand increase power system reliability through creating the most reliable source of system flexibility that is not contingent on the availability of resources water coal gas and the working status inout of operation of the provider. PV plants will be used mainly to supply electricity to the battery storage facilities and also cater to auxiliary consumption within the HPP facility. The PV plants will be developed and operated by UHE and not subject to the FiT scheme. To meet the timeline for synchronization the subcomponent will be developed in a short period of time starting procurement in late 2021 and reaching to contract signature in early 2022 expected to be commissioned by end of 2022.30.Subcomponent 1.2 E-mobility BESS This subcomponent will support installation of 15 MW of long-duration BESS suitable for EV charging at Dniester HPP. The system will be used for charging of electric public transport vehicles buses or trams for the local community.This sub-component is an important tool for testing and progressing e-Mobility options for public transport in Ukraine.It will help prepare UHE and Ukraines power grid for the upcoming convergence of power and transport sectors through increas
