OPERATION FORESIGHT UPDATE

This feedback will be used to update their site's content to increase the value of participation. Initiative members that have data to contribute will have a dedicated space within where they can view and interact with their data, stay up-to-date with analysis being performed on their systems, and provide feedback on what analysis techniques are most valuable. All funders will be able to compare anonymized system operations and predictions.įigure 2. The platform will allow users to compare performance across the different systems involved in the initiative. This platform will provide a continually refined set of analytic tools to mine a growing dataset to understand battery performance and degradation under a variety of conditions.

This project will create distinct analysis platforms, developed through extensive data collection and analysis of a variety of energy storage systems. Increased adoption of variable renewable resources.Improved power system reliability, flexibility, and resiliency and.An improved understanding of long-term storage performance based on real-world operation of a variety of energy storage systems.Participants and the public may use the results to gain insights into the performance, functionality, durability, and trends for energy storage technologies. This project is expected to result in improved characterization of risk, reliability, and performance for deployed or planned energy storage systems.

Development of leading practices for operating, testing, evaluating, and analyzing energy storage technologies.Identification of inconsistencies and gaps in contemporary energy storage monitoring systems that can inform the development of performance standards and market rules.Identification of key factors that drive performance, degradation, and reliability.Comparisons of energy storage performance and reliability across different technologies and applications.New learnings expected from this project include: Through participation in this project, utilities and other stakeholders will be able to assess energy storage performance, compare system performance to peer systems, and gain insights into effective energy storage performance analysis and operations. It will also leverage and advance tools and evaluation methods developed through the Energy Storage Integration Council and collaborative efforts with the Department of Energy. This effort will leverage experiences from EPRI’s industry leading performance platforms that analyze reliability and failure modes of a broad range of utility assets. The project endeavors to answer key questions about performance, reliability, and degradation. This project proposes to further develop existing efforts into an industry leading storage performance data platform that allows for expanded data acquisition and analytical processes that present users with clear, online information about past and projected storage operations. For several years, EPRI has been acquiring large amounts of fielded storage system and lab data in tandem with the development of a sophisticated, secure data platform to analyze past system performance and project future performance and reliability to maintain these systems at the highest possible operational health. Understanding both the short and long-term performance characteristics of energy storage systems is critical as electric grids become more dependent on this resource to enable more flexibility while maintaining grid reliability. Planners, financiers, grid operators, risk managers, analysts, and asset managers seeking to understand the real-world performance and reliability of energy storage systems.īrian Dupin - 650.906.2936 Barry Batson - 704.595.2873 Warren Frost - 403.474.4432 EPRI Customer Assistance - 800.313.3774 All collaborative results are expected to be continuously completed and delivered online. This project is currently launched in 2021.
