Combined with rapid decreases in the costs of battery technology and improving incentives for storage projects (notably the IRA), increasing needs for system flexibility highlight the increasing role of battery energy storage systems, or “BESS” projects, in accomplishing global, national and local clean energy and climate goals.
Although several states have updated, or are currently in the process of updating, their interconnection rules to include storage and to enable its more time- and cost-efficient integration onto the grid, the majority of state public utility commissions and utilities have yet to reform their interconnection rules to be inclusive of storage.
Placing storage near load centers also has benefits where load centers (especially in urbanized areas) are located far from renewable sources (like utility-scale wind and solar generation facilities), resulting in energy losses relating to the generation tie line (or “gen-tie”) from the BESS to the load.
New federal policies are also likely to incentivize the increased adoption of storage, particularly through the FERC Order 2222, adopted in 2020 and updated in 2021, intended to pave the way for aggregated DERs including storage on the distribution system to compete in wholesale markets.
The currently typical design of stationary storage systems in the range from 1 MW to 100 MW are container solutions with either all equipment in an ISO standard container, or part of the PCS
Energy storage can serve a myriad of functions when paired with another resource, including energy storage combined with natural gas resources to provide "spinning reserve" ancillary
