Mexico defines role of energy storage in National Electric System
Among other things, it establishes that electric energy storage equipment must be registered as a power plant and must be represented by a generator. Generators may bid for
BESS systems have a wide range of applications in different industrial and energy sectors. The best candidates for implementing these systems in Mexico are companies with electricity bills exceeding 400,000 pesos per month (GDMTH, DIST, and DIT rates).
The required reserve in Mexico is about 5 % per generator unit (i.e., storage), with a typical 15 min operation. According to, a battery could provide 4 cycles per day, providing an ancillary service such as frequency control or ramps.
Physical space: BESS systems are compact and can be installed indoors or outdoors without the need for additional infrastructure or specific conditions, as the containers or modules are designed to withstand a variety of environmental conditions. The future of energy storage is closely linked to the evolution of BESS systems.
Our results indicate that BESS in BCS reduce total systems costs and support the development of higher shares of renewable energy technologies across all modeled scenarios, but does not eliminate curtailment in the optimization of the operational strategies.
