These policies are mostly concentrated around battery storage system, which is considered to be the fastest growing energy storage technology due to its efficiency, flexibility and rapidly decreasing cost. ESS policies are primarily found in regions with highly developed economies, that have advanced knowledge and expertise in the sector.
Asset class position and role of energy storage within the smart grid As utility networks are transformed into smart grids, interest in energy storage systems is increasing within the context of aging generation assets, heightening renewable energy penetration, and more distributed sources of generation .
Since April 21, 2021, the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration have issued the ‘Guidance on Accelerating the Development of New Energy Storage (Draft for Solicitation of Comments)’ (referred to as the ‘Guidance’), which has given rise to the energy storage industry and even the energy industry.
The authors support defining energy storage as a distinct asset class within the electric grid system, supported with effective regulatory and financial policies for development and deployment within a storage-based smart grid system in which storage is placed in a central role.
Current connection policy New generators and storage technologies apply to the electricity system operators, EirGrid and ESB Networks, to connect to the electricity grid. Projects which connect can then progress to participate in energy markets and supply electricity.
Impact of energy storage system policy ESS policies are the reason storage technologies are developing and being utilised at a very high rate. Storage technologies are now moving in parallel with renewable energy technology in terms of development as they support each other.
