ETAACEnergy Sector Energy Storage ------------------------ Smart Grid July 12, 2007 San Francisco, CA
Energy Storage • Electric energy storage goal of the industry • Cost-effective energy storage would benefit all areas of the energy value chain: generation, transmission, distribution, and end-use • Key applications: firming large penetration of intermittent renewables, grid support, end-use load shifting, etc. • Current energy storage systems are only marginally cost competitive. Costs need to come down by factor of 2-5 times. • Need innovation and standardization as well as policy recognition. • California is best market for accelerating storage use due to technology base, clean energy emphasis (especially intermittent renewables), and leading-edge policies.
Energy Storage Technologies • Many different energy storage technologies are available for use in storage for renewable integration applications • Lithium ion batteries • Sodium-Sulfur Batteries • Flow Batteries • Flywheels • Ultracapacitors • Pumped Hydro • Compressed Air Energy Storage • Lead-acid batteries • Nickel-cadmium batteries • Each technology has advantages and disadvantages • Not all of these technologies are appropriate for all applications
