Traditional energy grid designs marginalize the value of information and energy storage, but a truly dynamic power grid requires both. 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
Electrical Energy Storage (EES) refers to systems that store electricity in a form that can be converted back into electrical energy when needed. 1 Batteries are one of the most common forms of electrical energy storage. The first battery—called Volta''s cell—was developed in 1800. 2 The first U.S. large-scale energy storage facility was the Rocky River Pumped Storage plant in
The need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions has catalysed the rapid growth of renewable energy worldwide. However, the intermittent nature of renewable energy requires the support of energy storage systems (ESS) to provide ancillary services and save excess energy for use at a later time.

DOE OE GLOBAL ENERGY STORAGE DATABASE Page 1 of 10 ILLINOIS ENERGY STORAGE POLICY STORAGE POLICY SNAPSHOT Does Illinois have an renewables mandate? YES, a legislative mandate to source 25 percent of the state''s energy from renewable resources by 2025. The mandate is placed on all utilities and alternative energy suppliers.
Approximately 16 states have adopted some form of energy storage policy, which broadly fall into the following categories: procurement targets, regulatory adaption, demonstration programs, financial incentives, and consumer protections. Below we give an overview of each of these energy storage policy categories.
While California, Oregon, and Massachusetts are the only states with energy storage mandates, other states such as New York and Washington are taking first steps towards robust policy actions through incorporating energy storage value propositions in their IRP processes and energy storage market design studies ( Stanfield et al., 2017 ).
Energy storage policies across the U.S., when they exist, vary greatly. The Interstate Renewable Energy Council recently reviewed U.S. policies related to energy storage and found that very few regions have energy storage mandates and appropriate valuation methodologies ( Stanfield et al., 2017 ).
All of the states with a storage policy in place have a renewable portfolio standard or a nonbinding renewable energy goal. Regulatory changes can broaden competitive access to storage such as by updating resource planning requirements or permitting storage through rate proceedings.
Nevertheless, policy and market barriers that have stifled adoption in past years continue to do so. If only considered for a single service, energy storage often costs more when compared to traditional infrastructure such as thermoelectric generators (Diaz de la Rubia et al., 2017).
Energy storage resources are capable of acting as a transmission, distribution, or generating asset, or as a dynamic load. Therefore, storage assets are usually classified as a function of the service they provide. For storage assets providing multiple services, classification is difficult.
