Energy storage alternative asset project planning
As the photovoltaic (PV) industry continues to evolve, advancements in Energy storage alternative asset project planning have become critical to optimizing the utilization of renewable energy sources. From innovative battery technologies to intelligent energy management systems, these solutions are transforming the way we store and distribute solar-generated electricity.
6 FAQs about [Energy storage alternative asset project planning]
Does energy storage qualify as an “other”?
For energy storage to qualify as an “other,” transmission planning engineers must find energy storage as a solution for reliability, age and condition, load growth, and local planning criteria need in the planning models. RTOs do not own generation, transmission, or distribution assets.
Does energy storage qualify as a GIP?
For energy storage to qualify as a GIP, transmission planning engineers must find energy storage as a solution for reliability needs in the planning models that study generator injections. To access the transmission system in an RTO, any external market resource should place a TSR.
Is energy storage an MP funded project?
In the 2019 MISO Transmission Expansion Plan (MTEP), only one of the total 480 projects approved was MP funded at a total cost of $9 million out of approximately $4 billion total project costs approved. 10 For energy storage to qualify as an MP funded project, an MP must come forward with a project.
Should energy storage be a transmission asset?
Adding a flexible resource like energy storage adds another level of complexity. Focusing on transmission project types and understanding that the business case for a reliability project type will look different relative to an economic project type, enables the storage industry to challenge RTOs and treat storage fairly as a transmission asset.
Does energy storage qualify as an MEP?
For energy storage to qualify as an MEP, transmission planning engineers must find energy storage as a solution for reducing historical transmission congestion. Multi-value projects (MVPs) are the “crown jewels” of MISO.
Will energy storage save the energy industry?
It’s generation . . . it’s transmission . . . it’s energy storage! The renewable energy industry continues to view energy storage as the superhero that will save it from its greatest problem—intermittent energy production and the resulting grid reliability issues that such intermittent generation engenders.
