Utilities can benefit from BESS in a few key ways:</p><ul data-rte-list="default"><li><p class="sqsrte-large" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Reduce peak demand charges </p></li><li><p class="sqsrte-large" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Encourage demand response</p></li><li><p class="sqsrte-large" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">To support load shifting</p></li><li><p class="sqsrte-large" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Promote a more resilient grid </p></li><li><p class="sqsrte-large" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">As a means to further integrate renewables</p></li></ul><p class="sqsrte-large" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Cost benefits can be achieved by BESS through aggregations of <strong>virtual power plants</strong> and/or vehicle-to-grid or vehicle-to-building to meet peak energy needs. This approach is especially helpful to utilities when wholesale power is more expensive or when the grid is temporarily down. Batteries can be charged with electricity that would otherwise be wasted, which is a form of load shifting. At times of very high demand, utilities can draw down stored energy and avoid the need to purchase or generate electricity when it is most expensive. </p><p class="sqsrte-large" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">With battery storage, expanding time-of-use (TOU) or dynamic rates can reduce wholesale power costs by minimizing the utility’s expensive peak demand charges. This can provide significant savings for both customers and utilities while improving resilience against storms and other emergencies.</p><p class="sqsrte-large" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Dispatchable Electricity</strong> </p><p class="sqsrte-large" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Distributed battery energy storage systems attached to buildings can provide valuable grid services to utilities and co-ops. When BESS are tied to the grid they can serve as dispatchable reserves of power that can be sent to the grid. Battery storage devices can absorb excess clean energy generated by solar panels during the mid-day hours when the sun is strongest. Distributed battery storage reduces the need for peaker natural gas power plants, which lower carbon emissions overall. This enhances resilience, reduces curtailment, and lowers emissions by better integrating renewable energy into the grid.</p><p class="sqsrte-large" data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"></p> </div> </div></div><div class="sqs-block image-block sqs-block-image sqs-col-1 span-1 float float-left" data-block-type="5" id="block-51ca6fca0e8e3b9d2e50"><div class="sqs-block-content"> <div class=" image-block-outer-wrapper layout-caption-below design-layout-inline combination-animation-site-default individual-animation-site-default individual-text-animation-site-default " data-test="image-block-inline-outer-wrapper" > <figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic " style="max-width:401px;" > <div class="image-block-wrapper" data-animation-role="image" > <div class="sqs-image-shape-container-element has-aspect-ratio " style=" position: relative;

Extreme weather events have caused G&T’s demand charges to rise in parts of the country where demand was not historically expensive. Using electric storage for resilient emergency backup power can provide mutual benefits to the grid and ratepayers by lowering energy costs and facilitating energy demand management.  </p><p class="sqsrte-large" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Centralized utility-scale batteries can benefit the customer, utility, and the grid by building resilience in the distribution system, especially as the distance to a substation increases or a feeder is nearing capacity. In 2021, the New Hampshire Electric Cooperative completed a 2.45 MW storage facility, complemented with a 2 MW solar array. The project is designed to mitigate peak demand periods, with the co-op estimating that it will save members more than $2 million over the next decade.</p> </div> </div></div><div class="sqs-block video-block sqs-block-video sqs-col-6 span-6 float float-right" data-block-json="{"blockAnimation":"none","layout":"caption-hidden","overlay":false,"description":{},"hSize":6,"floatDir":"right","isOldBlock":false,"html":"<iframe width=\"200\" height=\"113\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/P_d0x8uG6kE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen title=\"Using Storage to Improve Grid Resiliency\"></iframe>","url":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_d0x8uG6kE","width":200,"height":113,"providerName":"YouTube","thumbnailUrl":"https://i.ytimg.com/vi/P_d0x8uG6kE/hqdefault.jpg","resolvedBy":"youtube"}" data-block-type="32" id="block-yui_3_17_2_1_1716926695197_10516"><div class="sqs-block-content"><div class="intrinsic" style="max-width:100%"><div class="embed-block-wrapper " style="padding-bottom:56.5%;"><div class="sqs-video-wrapper" data-provider-name="YouTube" data-html="<iframe width="200" height="113" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/P_d0x8uG6kE?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen title="Using Storage to Improve Grid Resiliency"></iframe>"></div></div></div></div></div><div class="sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html" data-block-type="2" data-border-radii="{"topLeft":{"unit":"px","value":0.0},"topRight":{"unit":"px","value":0.0},"bottomLeft":{"unit":"px","value":0.0},"bottomRight":{"unit":"px","value":0.0}}" id="block-yui_3_17_2_1_1716926695197_13932"><div class="sqs-block-content"> <div class="sqs-html-content"> <p class="sqsrte-large" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">BESS can also help utilities defer major grid investments as there is less need to build out transmission lines to move energy that is now generated locally through solar panels and storage locally with battery storage devices. With less power relying on transmission lines, BESS alleviates the crunch on the transmission side and boosts reliability.</p><p class="sqsrte-large" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Utilities can find funding for residential storage programs through federal opportunities like the Rural Energy Savings Program (RESP) which can allow for customers or members to use<a href="https://www.betoolkit.org/planning/funding"> <span style="text-decoration:underline">on-bill financing through the utility</span></a>. This means participants can pay back their investment on their monthly power bill. This is another example of how on-bill financing projects like this are excellent tools for utilities and ratepayers to pursue beneficial electrification projects. These projects can be modest in size while still delivering a great benefit to participating households.</p><p class="sqsrte-large" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">For utilities, BESS is like a Swiss army knife as it helps lower utilities’ demand charges by discharging cheap stored energy during the evening hours when the demand for electricity is greatest and the prices are highest. These grid actions are called peak shaving as the daily or monthly demand peak is shaved by using stored clean energy. Peak shaving capabilities help smooth out the daily load curve and keep polluting peaker plants offline during high energy demand periods as batteries dispatch stored clean energy into the grid. Both these actions help utilities reduce demand changes, lowering energy costs that can be passed on to members.</p><p class="sqsrte-large" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Large Mobile Storage</strong></p> </div> </div></div><div class="sqs-block video-block sqs-block-video sqs-col-6 span-6 float float-right" data-block-json="{"blockAnimation":"none","layout":"caption-hidden","overlay":false,"description":{},"hSize":6,"floatDir":"right","isOldBlock":false,"html":"<iframe class=\"embedly-embed\" src=\"//cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FcPz7rlJm7_E%3Ffeature%3Doembed&display_name=YouTube&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DcPz7rlJm7_E&image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FcPz7rlJm7_E%2Fhqdefault.jpg&key=61d05c9d54e8455ea7a9677c366be814&type=text%2Fhtml&schema=youtube\" width=\"854\" height=\"480\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"YouTube embed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></iframe>","url":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPz7rlJm7_E","width":854,"height":480,"providerName":"YouTube","thumbnailUrl":"https://i.ytimg.com/vi/cPz7rlJm7_E/hqdefault.jpg","resolvedBy":"youtube"}" data-block-type="32" id="block-yui_3_17_2_1_1649869045930_20580"><div class="sqs-block-content"><div class="intrinsic" style="max-width:100%"><div class="embed-block-wrapper " style="padding-bottom:56.20609%;"><div class="sqs-video-wrapper" data-provider-name="YouTube" data-html="<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/> <br/> <iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/cPz7rlJm7_E?wmode=opaque" height="480" width="854" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/>"></div></div></div></div></div><div class="sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html" data-block-type="2" data-border-radii="{"topLeft":{"unit":"px","value":0.0},"topRight":{"unit":"px","value":0.0},"bottomLeft":{"unit":"px","value":0.0},"bottomRight":{"unit":"px","value":0.0}}" id="block-yui_3_17_2_1_1716501221807_28796"><div class="sqs-block-content"> <div class="sqs-html-content"> <p class="sqsrte-large" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Each variation of storage can carry advantages to benefit the utility by adding flexibility and grid durability.

This offers peace of mind to know a freezer’s contents won’t be lost or one won’t be searching for candles and flashlights during an outage.

This is 5-20 times the capacity of a standard home battery system.  </p><p class="sqsrte-large" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">As electric trucks and SUVs are hitting the market with larger batteries, these batteries could provide backup power via <strong>vehicle-to-home (V2H) technology,</strong> which includes a current transformer meter and a bidirectional charger. Similarly,<strong> Vehicle-to-load (V2L)</strong> offers a way for EVs to become an energy storage multi-tool. With V2L, drivers can use their EV’s battery bank and associated accompanying outlets for on-the-road electrical appliance and tool use.  Finally, <strong>vehicle-to-grid</strong> <strong>(V2G)</strong> is poised to benefit utilities that seek to network plugged-in EVs as distributed generation sources available during peak demand.</p> </div> </div></div><div class="sqs-block image-block sqs-block-image" data-block-type="5" id="block-yui_3_17_2_1_1716563167181_9010"><div class="sqs-block-content"> <div class=" image-block-outer-wrapper layout-caption-below design-layout-inline combination-animation-site-default individual-animation-site-default individual-text-animation-site-default " data-test="image-block-inline-outer-wrapper" > <figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic " style="max-width:1200px;" > <div class="image-block-wrapper" data-animation-role="image" > <div class="sqs-image-shape-container-element has-aspect-ratio " style=" position: relative;

For stationary storage applications LFP batteries also offer far more cycles (longer life) and can be cycled further away from 50% more regularly without degradation. Potential advances in sodium-ion batteries may fill an even more affordable category below the cost of LFP batteries.   </p><p class="sqsrte-large" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Current batteries are based on lithium-ion based batteries. In the future, solid state anodes may appear in lithium based batteries to offer greater energy density and therefore range. These will most likely cost more initially and be used for longer range variants.</p> </div> </div></div></div></div></div> </div> </div> </section> <section data-test="page-section"
