The unique characteristics of energy storage allow these assets to provide many potential services to grid operators. During normal operation, storage can have positive
Transmission and Storage technologies reduce energy loss and make renewables reliable around the clock. From smart grids to sand batteries,
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission allows storage to be used as a transmission asset, but regulatory and use-case uncertainty hold back deployment, a panel
For enormous scale power and highly energetic storage applications, such as bulk energy, auxiliary, and transmission infrastructure services, pumped hydro storage and
Despite clear support for using energy storage as a transmission asset dating back to 2005 – from both Congress and FERC – regional transmission planning processes have been slow to
Discover how SATA (Storage as a Transmission Asset) revolutionizes grid efficiency, sustainability, and paves the way for a
Energy Policy Act of 2005: Defines energy storage as an “advanced transmission technology,” which “increases the capacity, efficiency, or reliability of an existing or new
This paper reviews regulatory proceedings to define three types of energy storage assets than can interact with the transmission system: storage as a transmission asset,
This work demonstrates the need for detailed reliability assessment for quantitative comparison of the reliability benefits of energy storage and traditional transmission investments.
