As a result, the grid has historically relied on more flexible resources, such as natural gas or hydropower, to meet sudden changes in demand. Energy storage and demand response add additional flexible resources to the system operator’s toolkit, providing them with more options for balancing the grid.
With widespread grid failures on this scale, energy storage would have to make up a much larger share of system capacity than it currently does to change the dynamics, although it can respond to sudden system fluctuations by providing ancillary services, like frequency and voltage regulation.
Energy and power capacity of candidate storage plants are unconstrained and optimized by the model from the perspective of the grid, such that the model may build storage of any duration and size in each load zone.
