    What are the economics of energy storage systems?

    The economics of energy storage systems is dependent on the services and markets that exist on the electrical grid. These value streams can vary by region, electrical system, and grid domain (i.e., transmission, distribution, customer-sited).

    Can energy storage services be stacked?

    In the right environment, multiple grid services can be stacked to increase the lifetime value. When value stacking, energy storage can provide distribution and transmission-level services, but transmission storage cannot provide distribution or customer services.

    Does storage reduce the need for transmission capacity and dispatchable renewables?

    We observe that storage decreases the need for transmission capacity and dispatchable renewables like biomass while shifting the solar and wind balance (Fig. 5b). Due to the significant drop in curtailment for scenarios up to 20 TWh, less generation capacity is needed to deliver the same energy to the grid.

    What is energy storage service compatibility?

    In the context of value stacking, energy storage service compatibility only flows from bottom up; customer storage may provide distribution and transmission-level services, but transmission storage cannot provide distribution or customer services.
