Energy storage is a potential substitute for, or complement to, almost every aspect of a power system, including generation, transmission, and demand flexibility. Storage should be co-optimized with clean generation, transmission systems, and strategies to reward consumers for making their electricity use more flexible. .
Goals that aim for zero emissions are more complex and expensive than NetZero goals that use negative emissions technologies to achieve a. .
The need to co-optimize storage with other elements of the electricity system, coupled with uncertain climate change impacts on demand and supply,. .
The intermittency of wind and solar generation and the goal of decarbonizing other sectors through electrification increase the benefit of adopting pricing and load management options that reward all consumers for shifting. .
Lithium-ion batteries are being widely deployed in vehicles, consumer electronics, and more recently, in electricity storage systems. These batteries have, and will.
