National Photovoltaic Energy Storage Demonstration Experiment

What is the energy storage demonstration and pilot grant program?

The Energy Storage Demonstration and Pilot Grant Program is designed to enter into agreements to carry out 3 energy storage system demonstration projects. Technology Developers, Industry, State and Local Governments, Tribal Organizations, Community Based Organizations, National Laboratories, Universities, and Utilities.

What is science and Technology Innovation (Energy Storage)?

On November 10, 2020, the National Energy Administration published a list of its first batch of science and technology innovation (energy storage) pilot demonstration projects. The list of projects includes generation-side, behind-the-meter, and grid-side applications, as well as thermal-generation-bundled energy storage for frequency regulation.

What is a long-duration energy storage demonstration program?

Long-Duration Energy Storage Demonstrations Program: These projects will help effectively demonstrate the commercial viability of innovative LDES technologies and facilitate wider commercial adoption.

Will a battery energy storage system help Valley Children's Hospital?

This project plans to install a 3.3 MW behind-the-meter, non-lithium-ion battery energy storage system that would provide power for at least 10 hours to Valley Children’s Hospital, a pediatric hospital that serves Justice40 communities around Madera, California.

What is a CO2 energy storage project?

The project plans to store excess energy from the grid that can be deployed when needed, taking excess energy from the grid and converting the CO2 gas into a compressed liquid form, which reduces the typical complexity and costs associated with storage.

Why is multiday energy storage important?

Project Summary: Multiday energy storage is essential for the reliability of renewable electricity generation required to achieve our clean energy goals and provides resiliency against multiday weather events of low wind or solar resources.
