What is the future of energy storage study?

The Future of Energy Storage study is the ninth in MITEI’s “Future of” series, which aims to shed light on a range of complex and important issues involving energy and the environment.

What will EPRI do for energy storage?

EPRI and its Member Advisors will assess the current state of energy storage within each pillar and reevaluate the gaps in industry knowledge and resources between now and the re-VISION-ed future for 2030. The Energy Storage Roadmap in Practice

How can energy storage be used in future states?

Target future states collaboratively developed as visions for the beneficial use of energy storage. Click on an individual state to explore identified gaps to achievement. Energy storage is essential to a clean and modern electricity grid and is positioned to enable the ambitious goals for renewable energy and power system resilience.

Why is energy storage important?

Energy storage is a potential substitute for, or complement to, almost every aspect of a power system, including generation, transmission, and demand flexibility. Storage should be co-optimized with clean generation, transmission systems, and strategies to reward consumers for making their electricity use more flexible.

What is EPRI's energy research portfolio?

EPRI’s energy research portfolio offers collaborative projects, customized research opportunities, thought leadership, and innovation to help energy companies simultaneously decarbonize the energy sector while maintaining a resilient, reliable, and affordable power system on which society depends.

How reliable are energy storage systems?

Reliability – Operational project experience is small but growing and energy storage system performance is advancing. Economics – Costs are decreasing, and operational value is better defined, but additional technical study is needed to inform policy.
