Why is energy storage evaluation important?
Although ESS bring a diverse range of benefits to utilities and customers, realizing the wide-scale adoption of energy storage necessitates evaluating the costs and benefits of ESS in a comprehensive and systematic manner. Such an evaluation is especially important for emerging energy storage technologies such as BESS.
Is energy storage a viable option?
Assuming the initial analysis shows that energy storage is an economically viable option, the final decision to procure an ESS needs to be taken in the broader perspective of the business as a whole. This can include looking at issues of space, noise, and timing for system installation.
What are the costs and benefits of ESS projects?
Costs and benefits of ESS projects are analyzed for different types of ownerships. We summarize market policies for ESS participating in different wholesale markets. Energy storage systems (ESS) are increasingly deployed in both transmission and distribution grids for various benefits, especially for improving renewable energy penetration.
