Energy storage workshop planning scheme template

What is a grid scale energy storage workshop?

Grid Scale Energy Storage workshop Establish potential areas for partnerships in this research, both for delivering high quality research and for realising the impacts and benefits. Thirty-six delegates from the research and stakeholder community, many representing wider groups, participated in the workshop (attendee list is available as Annex 2).

What tools are used for energy storage analysis and development?

The tools below are used globally for energy storage analysis and development. System Advisory Model (SAM) SAM is a techno-economic computer model that calculates performance and financial metrics of renewable energy projects, including performance models for photovoltaic (PV) with optional electric battery storage.

What challenges are faced by UK research in grid scale energy storage?

The technical challenges faced by UK research in the grid scale energy storage space and awareness of barriers. Not all areas in the workshop report will be able to be included in the forthcoming calls due to the limits of the budget and remit.

Is location a factor in energy storage at grid scale?

Location as a factor in energy storage at grid scale largely focussed on the question of if it is more appropriate for storage to be near energy generation vs storage near use. Most modelling scenarios for future energy storage requirements envisage some subsurface energy storage.

What is quest – energy storage evaluation application suite?

QuEST: An Energy Storage Evaluation Application Suite Sandia National Laboratories QuEST currently consists of three interconnected applications (Data Manager, Valuation and BTM) that individually and collectively help project engineers and researchers evaluate energy storage systems for different use cases.

What is a business model for storage?

Business models or what would be the ‘right’ regulatory and commercial framework(s) for different forms of storage. However, evaluation of options depends on access to adequate models (physical models and optimisation approaches) and data.
