Exploring Energy Storage Technology and Regulation
Storage can act as any and all of these. To unlock the full potential energy storage has, the regulatory system will need to reflect this reality. This is an especially restrictive barrier for small-scale and behind-the-meter storage. The benefits to the grid energy storage can provide are not easily monetized.
Energy storage improves resilience and reliability Energy storage can provide backup power during disruptions. The same concept that applies to backup power for an individual device (e.g., a smoke alarm that plugs into a home but also has battery backup), can be scaled up to an entire building or even the grid at large.
