What is the energy storage strategy & roadmap (SRM)?
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today released its draft Energy Storage Strategy and Roadmap (SRM), a plan that provides strategic direction and identifies key opportunities to optimize DOE’s investment in future planning of energy storage research, development, demonstration, and deployment projects.
What is New York state's energy storage plan?
New York State aims to reach 1,500 MW of energy storage by and 6,000 MW by . Energy storage is essential for creating a cleaner, more efficient, and resilient electric grid. Additionally, these projects will provide meaningful benefits to Disadvantaged Communities and Low-to-Moderate Income New Yorkers.
How will energy storage affect New York's energy grid?
In June , New York’s Public Service Commission expanded the goal to 6,000 MW by . Storage will increase the resilience and efficiency of New York’s grid, which will be 100% carbon-free electricity by . Additionally, energy storage can stabilize supply during peak electric usage and help keep critical systems online during an outage.
What role does energy storage play in a low-carbon power grid?
Through the SFS, NREL analyzed the potentially fundamental role of energy storage in maintaining a resilient, flexible, and low carbon U.S. power grid through the year .
Why is energy storage important?
Energy storage is essential for creating a cleaner, more efficient, and resilient electric grid. Additionally, these projects will provide meaningful benefits to Disadvantaged Communities and Low-to-Moderate Income New Yorkers. Energy storage is essential to a resilient grid and clean energy system.
What are energy storage systems?
Energy storage systems are not primary electricity sources, meaning the technology does not create electricity from a fuel or natural resource. Instead, they store electricity that has already been created from an electricity generator or the electric power grid, which makes energy storage systems secondary sources of electricity.
