Does the energy storage strategic plan address new policy actions?

This SRM does not address new policy actions, nor does it specify budgets and resources for future activities. This Energy Storage SRM responds to the Energy Storage Strategic Plan periodic update requirement of the Better Energy Storage Technology (BEST) section of the Energy Policy Act of 2020 (42 U.S.C. § 17232 (b) (5)).

How do energy management systems work?

Coordination of multiple grid energy storage systems that vary in size and technology while interfacing with markets, utilities, and customers (see Figure 1) Therefore, energy management systems (EMSs) are often used to monitor and optimally control each energy storage system, as well as to interoperate multiple energy storage systems.

What is a storage management plan (SRM)?

This SRM outlines activities that implement the strategic objectives facilitating safe, beneficial and timely storage deployment; empower decisionmakers by providing data-driven information analysis; and leverage the country’s global leadership to advance durable engagement throughout the innovation ecosystem.

What is a typical energy management architecture?

Figure 1 shows a typical energy management architecture where the global/central EMS manages multiple energy storage systems (ESSs), while interfacing with the markets, utilities, and customers . Under the global EMS, there are local EMSs that are responsible for maintaining safe and high-performance operation of each ESS.

What is a highly centralized energy management system architecture?

In a highly centralized architecture, the optimal dispatches (i.e., power commands) are calculated at the control center and sent to each local EMS. In a highly decentralized architecture, the central EMS may not exist, therefore, EMS functions are only performed at the local EMSs. Figure 2. Energy Management System Hierarchy Architecture 1.2.

What are the different types of energy storage applications?

Energy storage applications can typically be divided into short- and long-duration. In short-duration (or power) applications, large amounts of power are often charged or discharged from an energy storage system on a very fast time scale to support the real-time control of the grid.
