Evaluating Emission Benefits from Using Advanced Storage at Commercial Industrial Facilities in California

摘要

As storage technologies continue to advance and enter mainstream applications such as frequency regulation and assistance with integration of renewable technologies, the performance characteristics that drive the advancements reveal additional innovative uses of the technologies. This is the case with customer-sided applications of storage, where storage may have the opportunity to serve as a Commercial & Industrial back-up power and demand response tool. Such applications have the potential to provide benefits not only to the customer, but also to society in the form of benefits such as emission reductions. In addition, the application may provide a potentially large, untapped demand response resource for the state of California.
