Energy storage is increasingly perceived as a necessary and vital component of any future smart grid, yet meaningful energy storage is still a scarce and missing component.
The discussion on April 21st will focus on:
• Value chain elements of the energy storage industry
• Who are local champions of energy storage
• What are the interests of the investment community
• What does the policy and regulatory framework look like
• How do customers value energy storage
Join our panel to better understand the technologies, trade-offs, market segments and future potential of energy storage.

10. The Beauty of Clean Wind Energy Tehachapi wind farm, California Comes With New Grid Management Issues The only way to turn volatile, mis-timed wind into reliable power is with storage. Image source: Wikipedia
11. Other Applications Addressable With Cost Effective Storage -Time shifting energy contribution to grid from night to afternoon. -Establishing a buffer of energy to leverage during periods of grid issues: -generation failure -demand spikes -balancing normal supply/demand fluctuations and imbalances -Taking advantage of new real time pricing schemes. -allows for arbitrage driven compensation. -Providing additional capability & flexibility to emerging micro-grids.
13. So Which Technology Will Win? -The right question might be: What is the optimal technology for a particular application in a particular region? -E.g. the solution for time shifting wind energy may be entirely different from that for reserves & regulation services. -We are spending time understanding particular applications, customer needs, and solutions best suited for the customers applications. -In addition to storage media technologies, we are also very interested in: -the necessary controls systems to manage the storage, and -service models that leverage the new infrastructure

Energy storage applications across the electrical value chain Running from a continuum of centralized to decentralized – energy storage can play a role in various places in the value chain. However the needs and requirements vary considerably: Centralized – large scale generation/storage semi-centralized storage Community Energy Storage Decentralized storage or distributed storage. Differing segments for energy storage, varies across the system with differing needs. Considering the larger category of distributed energy resources, the system is getting much more complicated with the inclusion of distributed generation, demand response / demand management, etc. along with energy storage.
Market forces affecting energy storage with varying short-term, medium-term and long-term impacts: Drivers: Smart Grid development Rising share of renewable energy Cost effectiveness for solving peak power or load levelling issues Intermittent nature of renewable energy Deferment of expensive grid upgrades Solves the issue of accurate demand-supply forecast Constraints: High cost of energy storage Economic downturn affecting investment in R&D and commercialization timeline Rise in cost of renewable electricity to customers
Our electrical system is in the midst of major changes with increasing renewable energy on the system As we move from low penetration of renewables today, ~3%, to higher penetration being driven by RPS there are becoming issues because of variability and intermittency . The issue is that power generation from wind and solar resources introduces a new set of technical challenges. The challenge to any commercial electricity producer is the requirement to meet current demand because it is difficult and expensive to store electricity. The most desirable situation for an electricity generator is to supply energy at a constant rate. Reality, however, requires utilities to respond to rapid changes in demand, and they need reserves to meet demand increases. With cost effective energy storage, it makes the system much easier to operate. Confidential & Proprietary
