2 Energy Storage State of the Industry Understanding and Realizing the Costs and Benefits of a New Resource for the Grid Giovanni Damato Senior Project Manager Electric Power Research Institute August 15 th 2017 SMUD Board Presentation on Energy Storage

3 Today s Key Takeaways Energy Storage has Real Possibilities: Even after cutting through the tremendous hype, grid energy storage has substantial potential to make inroads into the electricity industry, through niche applications and specialized technologies at first, but proceeding into broader uses, with potential widespread adoption beginning between 2020 and Lithium Ion Batteries are the Immediate Opportunity: A sharp drop in lithium ion prices in the last two years, and strong interest among developers and regulators, have resulted in a number of prominent deployments in niche applications. If successful, these deployments point the way towards broader application of battery storage in specific locations and uses, though prices are still far too high for more classical uses of storage such as load leveling or bulk storage of renewables. Other storage technologies will find it difficult to compete in the near term but may benefit from a mature storage market in the 5-10 year time frame. Long-Term Research is Critical to Success: Present-day technologies meet some needs on the grid, but future needs require radically better technologies with more energy density, higher efficiency, better reliability and lower cost. These technologies cannot be developed without a systematic approach to research and development covering the entire spectrum of Technology Readiness Levels, from early proof-of-concept through demonstration, pilots, and deployment. 3

4 Storage Changes Supply Chains Refrigeration transformed food supply by allowing preservation of a highly perishable product Changed delivery mechanisms E.g. No more milk man Created new supply and demand patterns E.g. Winter produce from Chile Energy storage may similarly transform when and where electricity is produced, transmitted, and used GE Monitor-Top refrigerator, c Picture rom digital collection of Mike Manning, retrieved 31 Oct 2013 from

10 Are we reaching the Tipping Point for Storage? Massive investment in lithium ion battery manufacturing has caused the cost of the technology to plummet over the last two years Installed costs less than $500/kWh reported for 2016 EPRI estimates have been $350 - $500/kWh by 2020 Prices have reached a very interesting level Still too high for classical storage applications such as load leveling But applicable in niche applications such as peak shaving for asset deferral, and peaker replacement 10

13 Aliso Canyon: Less than a year from inception to installation Aliso Canyon: Gas storage plant issues pushed CPUC to call for energy storage to be installed to replace gas peakers by the end of 2016 Several large-scale battery systems installed 20 MW / 80 MWh AltaGas Pomona Energy (SCE) 20 MW / 80 MWh Tesla Energy at Mira Loma (SCE) 2 MW / 8 MWh Powin Energy system at Irvine (SCE) 30 MW / 120 MWh AES Energy Storage at Escondido (SDG&E) 7.5 MW / 30 MWh AES Energy Storage at El Cajon (SDG&E) ( Other systems to come Systems were installed at breakneck speed RFO / RFP issued in June 2016 Awards / CPUC Approval in September 2016 Several systems online by December 31 st, 2016 Final commissioning Jan/Feb

14 Has energy storage arrived? Aliso Canyon shows that lithium ion batteries can be attractive as peaker replacements years before expected Special conditions (reduced availability of gas) make energy storage the preferred choice even though prices may be somewhat higher than gas turbines ($2000/kW) By 2020, storage at $1400/kW for 4 hours may be directly competitive with natural gas turbines in some locations But technology maturity is more than just cost! Does storage have a track record of safety, reliability and predictable performance? How are we using the storage, and what is the business model? How do we incorporate storage into grid planning and operating practice? 14

15 Gaps to Energy Storage Implementation Real-world performance data 15 Testing and evaluation in lab and field settings Collecting data from deployments to build track record Understanding the value of storage Learning how storage can be used to improve grid design and operation Getting the most value out of an energy storage deployment Organizational adaptation to new technology availability Developing best practices for design, deployment, integration, operation, and disposal Incorporating storage into existing planning and operations procedures

17 Challenges to Modeling Storage Storage and limited energy resources are still not common Rules and regulations still are evolving Benefit stacking is appealing, but will it be possible More services = more value More services = more requirements Can they be satisfied? Locational value of storage requires sitespecific analysis Complex optimization between storage degradation and service participation scheduling 17
