How Grid Energy Storage Meets the Challenges of a Decarbonized Future

This multi-presenter tutorial covers the basics of how electrical energy storage supports decarbonization initiatives across the U.S. To cover this topic, the 4-hour tutorial will be divided into four (4) sections, starting with a review of current technologies targeted for this area, e.g., lithium ion, pumped hydro, flow batteries, and long duration energy storage. Next, market application challenges and valuations will be discussed where the focus will be on the duration needed in a decarbonized scenario and market products that may be required to ensure deployment. In the final two sections, focus will shift to engineering of energy storage systems, code compliance, and interconnection – including electrification technologies. The last section will review system safety and reliability.
