What is the energy storage design project?

The project began with the refinement of a matrix of interim and long-term design issues that were targeted to be addressed by the document, “Energy Storage Design Project Draft Design Document for Stakeholder Comment, February 4, 2020” (the “Interim Design”) and this Long- Term Design Vision document, respectively.

What is a typical energy storage deployment?

A typical energy storage deployment will consist of multiple project phases, including (1) planning (project initiation, development, and design activities), (2) procurement, (3) construction, (4) acceptance testing (i.e., commissioning), (5) operations and maintenance, and (6) decommissioning.

What if a developer wants to install energy storage?

If a developer wants to install an energy storage project in a jurisdiction that has not defined where storage is allowed, the developer is responsible for identifying a potential site and petitioning the jurisdiction to issue a conditional use permit or rezone the site to enable the project.

What's new in energy storage safety?

Since the publication of the first Energy Storage Safety Strategic Plan in 2014, there have been introductions of new technologies, new use cases, and new codes, standards, regulations, and testing methods. Additionally, failures in deployed energy storage systems (ESS) have led to new emergency response best practices.

What is the interim design of energy storage?

In the Interim Design it was contemplated that energy storage would integrate with the current load and generation resource models, the current electricity market, and utilize numerous imperfect workarounds in order to minimize the need for near-term tool changes.

Are dispatchable electricity storage facilities subject to market power mitigation?

The MRP Detailed Design document, “Market Power Mitigation” has indicated that dispatchable electricity storage facilities shall generally be subject to the same ex ante market power mitigation framework that will apply to other types of dispatchable facilities, once the MRP energy stream is deployed.
