This report explores how economic forces, public policy, and market design have shaped the development of stand-alone grid-scale storage in the United States. . Depends on both on Phase 2 and deployment of variable generation resources While the Phases are roughly sequential there is considerable overlap and uncertainty. Key Learning 1: Storage is poised for rapid growth. Grid-scale storage can play an important role in providing reliable electricity supply, particularly on a system with increasing variable. . An array of strategies exist for using energy storage to fortify resilience efforts, thus preventing power outages. A battery energy storage system (BESS) is an electrochemical device that charges (or collects energy) from the grid or a power plant and then discharges that energy at a later time to. . Energy storage systems are crucial for improving the flexibility, efficiency, and reliability of the electrical grid.
