  • Stacking up the Benefits of Storage for New England 1
    Stacking Up the Benefits A White Paper in Support of Integrating Energy of Storage for New England Markets and Public Policy Authors Sam Hill-Cristol, Guest Author Spencer Fields October 2017 ABOUT THIS WHITE PAPER In August 2016 the New England Power Pool (NEPOOL) held its first meeting in the Integrating Markets and Public Policy (IMAPP) stakeholder discussion. This process intends to explore and propose changes to the New England energy, capacity, and ancillary markets for the purpose of better reconciling them with state-specific public policy goals. Synapse Energy Economics (Synapse) represents several end-users and alternative resource providers in this process. This paper, based on the research and thesis of guest author Sam Hill-Cristol, is a contribution from Synapse to the overall IMAPP discussion. It outlines how battery storage systems located at substations can provide a range of important services for the grid that reduce carbon intensity, increase reliability, and provide savings to consumers. Battery storage systems are successfully operating today elsewhere in the United States and there are substantial opportunities in New England to capture the benefits they can provide. The study began with a survey of battery storage projects in the United States in order to determine how widespread they were, where they were located, how much they cost, and what services they were providing. From here, the study focused on a few projects that seemed particularly successful and assessed the main drivers behind their development. Through this came the concept of ‘“revenue stacking,” which informs many of this paper’s recommendations. Acknowledgements This study was a collaborative effort driven by Sam Hill-Cristol’s thesis research for Brown University.

Introduction The California ISO (ISO) tariff provides for the establishment of planning guidelines and standards above those established by NERC and WECC to ensure the secure and reliable operation of the ISO controlled grid. The primary guiding principle of these Planning Standards is to develop consistent reliability standards for the ISO grid that will maintain or improve transmission system reliability to a level appropriate for the California system. These ISO Planning Standards are not intended to duplicate the NERC and WECC reliability standards, but to complement them where it is in the best interests of the security and reliability of the ISO controlled grid. The ISO planning standards will be revised from time to time to ensure they are consistent with the current state of the electrical industry and in conformance with NERC Reliability Standards and WECC Regional Criteria.

  • Energy Storage
    California Energy Commission – Tracking Progress Energy Storage California’s rapidly evolving energy landscape and aggressive carbon reduction goals are increasing the need for energy storage technologies. Energy storage is an important tool to help integrate increasing amounts of solar and wind electricity generation into the grid. While growing use of renewable generation is essential to meeting the state’s greenhouse gas emission reduction goals, the variability of solar and wind can quickly result in rapid ramps up and down in energy availability. (For more information, see the Tracking Progress pages on Resource Flexibility and Greenhouse Gas Emission Reductions.1,2) Energy storage can help address this issue, for example, by storing renewable generation when production exceeds demand and then reinjecting it into the system when supply is short. Energy storage technologies include batteries, flywheels, compressed air, pumped storage, and thermal energy (such as molten salt and ice). Energy storage can interconnect at the transmission system, the distribution system, or behind the customer meter. Energy Storage Benefits Energy storage technologies can help achieve California’s clean energy goals by helping: Reduce emissions of greenhouse gases: Capturing excess renewable energy generation for use later can reduce or avoid the curtailment of renewable energy and displace the use of fossil fuels to generate electricity. Moreover, energy storage in vehicles reduces gasoline use. Reduce demand for peak electrical generation: In California, natural gas-fired peaking plants are used when peak demand for electricity is too high to be met by other resources. Energy storage can be used in place of natural gas peaking plants in highest electricity demand hours.

  • Evaluation Report of Load Serving Entities' Compliance with 2021 Resource Adequacy Requirements November 12, 2020
    Evaluation Report of Load Serving Entities’ Compliance with 2021 Resource Adequacy Requirements November 12, 2020 Intentionally left blank November 12, 2020 1. Summary of review The ISO has reviewed and evaluated the aggregate 2021 annual Resource Adequacy (RA) Plans of load serving entities (LSEs) received as of November 3, 2020 to assess compliance with annual Local, System and Flex Resource Adequacy requirements. In addition, the ISO has evaluated the effectiveness of the Resource Adequacy Resources and RMR resources that have been procured by LSEs to assess compliance in Local Capacity Areas with the Local Capacity Technical Study criteria as required by Tariff Sections 43.2.1.1 and 43.2.2. The ISO’s evaluation has identified individual LSE and collective capacity deficiencies in several Local Capacity Areas in the PG&E and SDG&E TAC Areas. The ISO’s evaluation shows aggregate compliance with the LCR criteria in the SCE, VEA and MWD TAC Areas. A deficiency occurs when the aggregate portfolio of Resource Adequacy Resources that has been procured, including RMR resources, fails to satisfy the adopted reliability criteria in a Local Capacity Area. The tariff provides an opportunity for LSEs to cure individual or collective deficiencies before the ISO can engage in any backstop procurement. The ISO notes that the deficient LSEs are not required to purchase capacity from specific units, which are identified as being able to satisfy the LCR criteria for purposes of meeting individual deficiencies. LSEs (including those deficient at this time) can purchase capacity from any resources with a local attribute in the TAC Area.
