Distributed Energy Storage in the Distributed Energy Storage in the Grid Grid
- What does it mean
- Expanding battery technologies
High temperature Nickel-cadmium Lithium-ion Carbon lead acid
- Where are we today
- What’s needed in the future
What is Distributed Energy Storage What is Distributed Energy Storage
- Smaller storage devices up to 50 MWs
- Storage systems connected throughout
the grid
Utility substations Wind and solar farms Community energy storage Residential
- Eventually will involve PHEVs & EVs

Carbon Lead Carbon Lead
Carbon lead is a hybrid energy-storage device, which combines an asymmetric supercapacitor and a lead-acid battery in one unit cell, without extra electronic control.
Where are we Today Where are we Today
- Global battery activities
- Awareness of storage need growing
- DOE Electricity Advisory Committee
Activities
- Significant battery investment in the
current stimulus bill
Global Battery Activities Global Battery Activities
- Lead Acid
Large production still present in the US
- High Temperature Sodium
NaS production in Japan increasing to over 100 MWs per year GE building $100M sodium metal halide plant in upstate New York Sodium nickel chloride production in Europe
- Lithium-Ion
China and South Korea dominate consumer product production Japan heavily funding PHEV development Fastest growth sector for US to support PHEV and utility application

Key Issues for Storage in the Future Key Issues for Storage in the Future
- Cost of storage
– Need volume & competition – Incentives to industry
- Being able to capture multiple values
in a given utility application
- How to handle cost recovery of
multiple benefits across distribution, transmission and generation?
- How to handle energy in and out in a
deregulated environment?
