Evidence on Storage Deployment in the US
Energy storage can also support resource adequacy by counting toward a system’s total installed capacity. Through capacity markets or other resource adequacy constructs, storage providers are compensated for their potential to provide energy in the future, particularly when the expectation is that demand will be high or supply low.
The 2020 Cost and Performance Assessment analyzed energy storage systems from 2 to 10 hours. The 2022 Cost and Performance Assessment analyzes storage system at additional 24- and 100-hour durations.
Energy storage can offer a variety of valuable services to the grid. Short-duration storage has taken off as a competitive provider of selected ancillary services and has begun to play a role in intraday price arbitrage in some regional markets. Currently, storage growth seems to be limited by a few key factors.
Electricity prices drop the most when storage participates in the real-time market, while emissions decrease the most when storage participates in the day-ahead market. However, Qin et al. also find that as total storage capacity increases from 1 to 5 gigawatts (GW), the marginal price and emissions impacts diminish.
