The ble energy resources—wind, solar photovoltaic, and battery energy storage systems (BESS). These resources electrically connect to the grid through an inverter— power electronic devices
PDF version includes complete article with source references. Suitable for printing and offline reading.
Storage technologies have tremendous opportunities to support future grid operations and policymakers at federal and state levels have begun to implement diverse policies. Specifically, the federal government has various national capabilities to support policymaker decisions around energy storage: Energy Storage Grand Challenge.
This SRM does not address new policy actions, nor does it specify budgets and resources for future activities. This Energy Storage SRM responds to the Energy Storage Strategic Plan periodic update requirement of the Better Energy Storage Technology (BEST) section of the Energy Policy Act of 2020 (42 U.S.C. § 17232 (b) (5)).
Energy storage technology use is increasing on the grid and tens of thousands of MW of energy storage are projected to be added to the grid by 2025, according to EIA data. As previously discussed, over 10,000 MW of battery storage have been planned for construction between 2021 and 2023.
28,000 MW of storage capacity—on a net summer capacity basis—installed on the U.S. electricity grid.34 Pumped hydroelectric storage accounted for over 80 percent of this capacity, and lithium-ion batteries accounted for nearly 17 percent. Other technologies represent approximately 1 percent of total grid energy storage capacity.
