The DOE NEPA Implementing Procedures (10 CFR 1021) require that an Environmental Assessment (EA) be prepared for contracts for the addition of new generation resources of 50
Energy storage can be used to cover the peak demand and avoid the need for investment in peaking plants. This has been proven in studies carried out on projects in Massachusetts and New York City, and another project in Florida will see the installation of the largest battery storage system in the world.
The innovative market product presented in the previous section can incentivise the deployment of energy storage systems. This is because it will provide an additional revenue stream, making these projects more economically feasible.
The value of electricity storage is assessed by comparing the cost of operating the power system with and without electricity storage. This framework also describes a method to identify projects where the value of integrating electricity storage exceeds the cost to the power system.
The IRENA Electricity Storage Valuation Framework (ESVF) aims to guide the development of effective electricity storage policies for the integration of VRE generation. The ESVF shows how to value storage in the integration of variable renewable power generation.
Electricity storage technologies are a critical enabler for integrating large shares of variable renewable energy (VRE) into power systems. They facilitate the acceleration of the energy transition by providing efficient ancillary services and can be located virtually anywhere in the grid.
The economic viability of an individual electricity storage project is assessed to determine whether policy interventions are needed to incentivise project development. This is done by modelling the dispatch of the project and assessing its economic viability.
