Energy storage and distribution pdf

What is the energy storage Handbook?

The EPRI-DOE Handbook of Energy Storage for Transmission makes the business case for energy storage on the national and corporate levels and also provides a guide for T&D utilities looking at particular energy storage systems for representative applications in grid stabilization, grid operation support, distribution power quality, and load shifting.

What is an integrated energy storage system?

An integrated energy storage system, as defined in this Handbook, consists of three subsystems: • The Energy Storage System (ESS), which includes all equipment necessary to store and supply energy to the power conversion system interface according to the application duty cycle. Guidelines for the ESS are provided.

Where can energy storage systems be used?

Energy storage systems can be used in electrically isolated systems, such as Golden Valley Electric Association in Alaska, or at power import terminals where full capacity is limited by contingencies. These systems must be able to detect disturbances and respond within 20 milliseconds by injecting real power for up to 30 minutes.

What are reference energy storage systems?

For the purposes of this Handbook, reference energy storage systems are identified for each energy storage technology in their respective chapters and assessed in a manner that facilitates comparison of economics with a range of alternatives.

Can stored energy be used for a transmission and distribution system?

In the United States, the use of stored energy for the real time and short notice (milliseconds to a few minutes) support and optimization of the transmission and distribution (T&D) system has been limited to date. This is primarily due to a lack of cost-effective options, as well as actual field experience and comparative evaluations.

How many energy storage technologies are in the EPRI Handbook?

The EPRI Handbook initially covered seven energy storage technologies, as documented in the interim report published in December 2002 (1007189). During 2003, EPRI expanded the Handbook content to include an additional three energy storage technologies.
