How do we make storage happen? • Problems
– Technology is new and still expensive. – Often the regulators consider storage as just another form of
generation – IT IS NOT!! – Often support mechanisms are not in place in the way they
are for solar and wind. – Storage is multi-facited and can contribute to many markets. – It spans across market segments – generation, transmission
and distribution. – In the Carbon Trust report in 2012 it stated that in the UK 15GW of storage by 2030 it would save £2bn/annum 25GW of storage by 2050 it would save £10bn/annum
We Need To Take a Holistic Approach

Recent Energy Storage Developments in the US • Argonne National Labs in Chicago, IL recently received a
$120M funding commitment to research and advance Energy Storage
• Called Joint Center for Energy Storage Research (JCESR)
• George Crabtree, the director of JCESR stated his 5-5-5 vision at a recent energy storage conference in New York – 5x the energy density of current lithium ion technology – At 1/5 the cost – Within 5 years

Recent Energy Storage Developments in the US
• FERC order 755 – Frequency Regulation, market pays more for the best: Speed – storage responds in seconds Accuracy – typically 98+% accurate
– One large (32MW) energy storage installation in the PJM area displaces 70-80MW of traditional spinning reserve. Usable band Doesn’t require base loading, can stand-by idle
8
Recent Energy Storage Developments in the US • Lack a cohesive National policy
– Rules change: By state By Independent system operator
– NE-ISO recently asked to delay opening their market to Energy storage (FERC 755) until January 1, 2015
– NY-ISO use of each resource’s six-second Regulation Movement Response Rate
By Public Utilities commission
“It’s no coincidence that our facility is located in New York, a competitive market. By providing clear market tariffs for different technology solutions, competitive electricity markets level the playing field and drive innovation.” -- Beacon Power Director of Corporate Communications, Gene Hunt

Recent Energy Storage Developments in the US
• California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) ordered Southern California Edison (SCE) to install 50MW of Energy Storage in the Los Angeles Basin
• The CPUC ordered an additional total of 1300MW of capacity be procured from preferred resources – including energy storage.
• This action has already spurned a call for energy storage proposals in multiple locations in California

California PUC recently released order
A Total of 1.325GW

Conclusions • Storage can make a big contribution to the development of our
changing network. • However, it is important that the right Market Mechanisms are in
place to support this. • Storage costs will come down. • But we do need to consider the impact on total system savings.
• The answer is not always to put more copper in the
ground!!!
