The Office of Electricity’s (OE) Energy Storage Division accelerates bi-directional electrical energy storage technologies as a key component of the future-ready grid. The Division supports applied materials development to identify safe, low-cost, and earth-abundant elements that enable cost-effective long-duration storage. The division also supports early adoption by improving storage reliability and safety, applying modeling and analysis, and validating performance for rapid commercialization.

Most of us are familiar with certain kinds of electrical energy storage, or ESS. If you’ve ever used a household battery or driven an electric car, then you know that it’s possible to store electrical energy in a form that can be used again later.

An energy storage system stores excess energy and allows for the reuse of that stored energy when energy production is low and the demand is high. There are many different types of energy storage, including battery storage and pumped hydro, and these resources provide a variety of services, including the smoothing of the energy produced from renewable energy resources and resiliency support.

Peak demand charges are often levied by local electric utilities or grid operators based on the maximum electricity demand of a commercial and industrial (C&I) customer within a defined time interval. These charges often account for a significant portion of a C&I customer’s bill and the costs associated with demand charges have been difficult to manage. With the advent of energy storage technology, the reduction of these charges serves as the foundation of the business case for deploying C&I energy storage systems (ESSs). 

In the landscape of renewable energy, Distributed Energy Storage Systems (DESS) have emerged as a transformative solution, reshaping the way we harness and utilize renewable resources. Dr. Abdul Manaff, Chairman of AHO Energy & First Holdings, advocates for the adoption and development of DESS as a fundamental pillar in fortifying our commitment to renewable energy.

That projected shift indicates that the nascent customer-sited battery segment is maturing. A broad range of manufacturers are bringing distributed systems to market; more solar and energy services companies are expanding into on-site battery offerings; financing options are improving; costs are coming down; and some utilities are starting to experiment with offering solar-plus-storage to their customers.The trend is also a reflection of how regulation in the electric sector is evolving and altering the course of technology development.

Aside from its environmental benefits, grid-scale battery storage also presents a compelling economic case. The increasing affordability and technological advancements in battery technology have significantly reduced the costs associated with implementing grid-scale storage systems. As a result, the business case for grid-scale battery storage has become more attractive, making it an appealing investment for utilities and energy companies.Furthermore, the utilization of grid-scale battery storage can help reduce the need for costly upgrades to existing energy infrastructure. By optimizing the delivery of energy and balancing supply and demand, battery systems can postpone or even eliminate the need for grid expansion. This cost-saving aspect, combined with the scalability of battery storage systems, makes them a valuable asset in ensuring efficient and cost-effective energy distribution.

The electric power grid operates based on a delicate balance between supply (generation) and demand (consumer use). One way to help balance fluctuations in electricity supply and demand is to store electricity during periods of relatively high production and low demand, then release it back to the electric power grid during periods of lower production or higher demand. In some cases, storage may provide economic, reliability, and environmental benefits. Depending on the extent to which it is deployed, electricity storage could help the utility grid operate more efficiently, reduce the likelihood of brownouts during peak demand, and allow for more renewable resources to be built and used.

Battery storage technologies are essential to speeding up the replacement of fossil fuels with renewable energy. Battery storage systems will play an increasingly pivotal role between green energy supplies and responding to electricity demands.Battery storage, or battery energy storage systems (BESS), are devices that enable energy from renewables, like solar and wind, to be stored and then released when the power is needed most.

Once expensive and difficult to implement, renewable energy solutions like wind and solar are now often the cheapest options available for generating electricity for the grid. However, there are still some issues around the non-continuous supply from these sources, with grid storage becoming a key technology to keep the lights on around the clock.
