Description

Electric storage has long been hailed as a potential game changer for the electric industry. With storage capability, power systems can more efficiently meet the needs of demand while enhancing the reliability of the grid and better managing grid congestion. Electric storage is one technology that is seen as a way to meet the energy needs of consumers with renewable energy during peak periods. With recent and expected technological advancements making electric storage more efficient and economical, the potential of electric storage is becoming a reality.

Mr. Jason Burwen, Vice President of Policy at the Energy Storage Association, will cover recent regulatory reforms in the U.S. related to electric storage and what additional reforms may be necessary to realize the optimal integration of electric storage in U.S. power systems.

As part of this discussion, Mr. Rodolfo Martinez, Head of Infrastructure Regulation of Iberdrola S.A., will present Iberdrola’s experiences on the impact of integrating electric storage in the electric markets in Spain, where storage has achieved a high level of integration due to Spanish law and regulations aimed at increasing electric storage capacity. Mr. Martinez will highlight what lessons the U.S. could learn from Spain’s experiences as U.S. regulators explore potential policy modifications to incent electric storage resource development.

Dr. Samuel Crawford, Managing Consultant at Navigant, will discuss the various contractual issues associated with the different business models that lawyers may need to resolve for the storage industry to realize its full potential in the U.S. Dr. Crawford’s expertise is in technologies for energy storage, smart grid operations, and microgrids. He has developed multiple proprietary models analyzing the costs and benefits of energy storage. In addition, Dr. Crawford has developed tools and processes to support the evaluation and procurement of technologies focusing on the management of resources in power systems.
