The Economics of Energy Storage: Comparing Technologies Using Real-World Examples 

09-18-2017 17:02

Summary

The need for, and value of, Energy Storage (ES) has become apparent as the electricity grid uses increasing amounts of intermittent renewable generation resources. Various ES technologies are available and under development, each with very unique performance characteristics and costs. Many campuses are exploring and employing ES in various forms, including for example, batteries, Electric Vehicles (EVs), and cold (and hot) Thermal Energy Storage (TES).

The presentation will characterize and contrast different ES technologies using actual examples from university campus and other installations. In particular, campuses with District Energy networks have fertile opportunities to employ economically attractive ES in the form of cool TES (as ice, chilled water, or low temp fluid TES) and sometimes hot TES (as hot water TES).
