0549: Maximizing the value of energy storage systems: economic and technical evaluation of use cases and benefit stacking

Deployments of grid connected energy storage are rapidly increasing, both as stand-alone and hybrid systems with renewable generation. One of the key advantages of energy storage systems are their inherent flexibility to act as both load and generation, and to provide multiple services (known as value stacking). However, many markets are not currently designed to appropriately value these services.This study reviews the potential use cases and value stacking opportunities for energy storage for

0542: Leveraging Fast-Ramping Capabilities Beyond Frequency Regulations

Increasing adoption of distributed energy resources (DERs) and grid-scale variable renewable energy is resulting in a growing demand for technologies that can rapidly ramp up and ramp down electricity generation to match electricity demand. Although various mature and upcoming technologies that provide these ancillary services are currently part of market mechanisms and have well-defined physical as well as economic characteristics, fast-ramping capabilities available in some of these technologi

0535: PEV Deployment: Policy Paper from Utility Perspective

The introduction of a large number of PEV loads to the Canadian electricity grid could lead to a number of technical bottlenecks ranging from localized to utility-scale effects. Many policymakers and stakeholders in the utility industry are seeking to understand these potential effects and to assess the risks associated with them before a large-scale roll-out of PEVs occurs in their regions. Although the physical effects of PEVs on the electricity grid are important to examine in detail, appropr

0537: Emerging Energy Technologies: Technical and Economic Assessment

A technical and market assessment of fifteen different emerging technologies that are relevant to utility-scale electric power generation was undertaken to help the sponsors of the report keep abreast of the latest advances. The report was based on publically available data, in-house knowledge and expertise and, when required, targeted interviews with stakeholders. While the overall emphasis of the study was the North American market, when relevant, global developments were also discussed. The t

0509: Study on the State of the Art of Wind Energy Forecasting for the Electric Utility Industry

Short-term forecasting of wind farm production is an important issue for the wind energy industry, whose variable nature puts it in a unique position compared to other conventional modes of electricity production. Depending on the wind energy penetration rate*, the ability to accurately forecast short-term wind power production can allow for substantial savings. Many major utilities with significant capacity of wind in their supply mix regularly rely on wind energy forecasting models to help the

0526: Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) Model Study - Integrating CSP with Fossil Plants

The objective of this study was to address the feasibility of integrating concentrated solar power (CSP) with a base loaded fossil fuel power plant in the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) system.This study provides insight into the design and cost of a parabolic trough solar field and the effect on the heat and material balance of an existing coal fired facility, assuming several variations of integrating the thermal energy. In addition, the impact of cloud cover on the thermal energy output fro

0530C: Biomass Torrefaction/Carbonization Test Program - Phase 1 Part 2: Lab-Scale Determination of Combustion Characteristics

Within the framework of the CEATI SOIG 0530 Biomass Torrefaction/Carbonization Test Program, a diverse set of biomass fuels, together with a reference coal, was extensively analyzed for its suitability as coal-replacing renewable fuel in an existing pulverized-fuel power plant. Within this part of the project, the characterization of the dynamic conversion aspects has been tackled. Tests have been performed in an advanced and versatile test rig (the Lab-scale Combustion Simulator) and have emplo

0512: Demonstration and Evaluation of 1 MW/7.2 MW-hr NAS Battery at Long Island Bus Company

Electric utilities, energy service companies and utility customers lack familiarity with distributed electric storage systems. Demonstration projects highlighting the benefits, safety, and effectiveness of such systems will promote their propagation. The benefits derived from the storage of electrical energy are well defined in the EPRI-DOE Handbook of Energy Storage for Transmission and Distribution Applications, EPRI, Palo Alto, CA, and the U.S. Department of Energy, Washington, DC: 2003. 1001
