EAC Spotlight #2: Energy Storage Subcommittee
This summer, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced the new and returning members of the Electricity Advisory Committee (EAC), which advises DOE on electricity resilience, reliability, security,
6 FAQs about [Energy storage committee]
Is Doe addressing the energy storage industry's challenges?
EAC conducted a months-long review of obstacles and challenges facing the energy storage industry to determine areas of pressure and pain, and to assess whether DOE was addressing these obstacles and challenges in its funding, policy, initiatives, and other efforts.
Is there a strategic disconnect between DOE and ESGC?
However, after review of the efforts of the Department to date under the ESGC, as well as extensive investigation with energy storage utility stakeholders, EAC concludes that there is a strategic disconnect between the efforts of DOE and the obstacles and challenges facing the industry, policymakers, and adopters.
What is economic long-duration electricity storage?
Economic long-duration electricity storage refers to solutions like ENDURING, which use low-cost thermal energy storage and high-efficiency power cycles to provide reliable, cost-effective, and scalable energy storage.
What are the safety standards for thermal energy storage systems?
The storage of industrial quantities of thermal energy, specifically in molten salt, is in a nascent stage. The ASME committee has published the first edition of TES-1, Safety Standards for Thermal Energy Storage Systems: Molten Salt. The storage primarily consists of sensible heat storage in nitrate salt eutectics and mixtures.
What role does Doe play in promoting energy storage standards?
DOE should play a leadership role in promoting the development of standards for the entire spectrum of the energy storage industry, including the compatibility of communications and controls, regulatory consistency, siting and safety considerations, obsolescence, disposal and recycling, reliability, and cyber and physical security.
Why do we need a co-optimized energy storage system?
The need to co-optimize storage with other elements of the electricity system, coupled with uncertain climate change impacts on demand and supply, necessitate advances in analytical tools to reliably and efficiently plan, operate, and regulate power systems of the future.
