Keynote Panel: Capturing the Value Provided by Energy Storage to the Grid

Time: 10:30 AM - 11:20 AM
Date: 29 March 2023

Synopsis

Storage played a significant role in the recent California heatwaves and outages and is playing a more significant role in ERCOT. This session will examine how energy storage assets have changed (and will continue to change) the grid planning and operations across the US.

  • The role of storage in getting around some of the transmission and interconnection issues in areas prone to concerns around power supply reliability caused by extreme weather events
  • How Virtual Power Plants and microgrids can help with congestion reduction
  • Renewable energy curtailment management which in turn can help meet state policy goals
  • The flexible capacity value storage can provide to the grid
  • Transmission deferral
  • Storage resources providing ancillary services
