lenges for their widespread adoption. Key standards in progress include IEEE 1547.3 for energy storage integration.143 UL 2941 for system safety,144 and SunSpec Modbus for communication protocols.145 Despite their importance, standards development can be slow due to consen
There are several energy storage models, each requiring different approaches to product definitions and performance parameters. The most prevalent model appears to be storage combined with a solar project, where the two are treated as a single system. Therefore, the power contract covers both. There is a natural synergy.
Some operating requirements are unique to storage. For example, most battery storage systems require a certain amount of “cycling” (charging and discharging) each day. The party controlling the unit will need to control the facility within these parameters.
The PPA will need to be clear regarding the rights to each product and service if a single offtaker will not be entitled to all of the multiple revenue streams. To date, there is a lack of clear precedent about how energy storage units are to be regulated under the Federal Power Act.
We have seen significant advancements in the regulatory process to make accommodations for valuing and monetizing energy storage for what it provides to the grid.
The most impactful regulatory decision for the energy storage industry has come from California, where the California Public Utilities Commission issued a decision that mandates procurement requirements of 1.325 GW for energy storage to three investor-owned utilities in four stages in 2014, 2016, 2018, and 2020.
