Why do we need a large energy storage system?

Record-breaking deployments of wind and solar in the U.S. are creating a need for large, long-duration energy storage so that they can perform like baseload resources and compete with traditional fossil fuels, Chapin said. Projects over 1 GWh now represent $8.7 billion — or two-thirds — of the company’s total pipeline.

How can pre-production storage system design improve manufacturing scale-up?

Identifying and implementing design innovations will align pre-production storage system design to set the stage for manufacturing scale up and improved production of cost-effective, safe, and reliable short-, medium-, and long-duration storage technologies. New Report Showcases Innovation to Advance Long Duration Energy Storage (LDES):

How can energy storage technology improve resiliency?

This FOA supports large-scale demonstration and deployment of storage technologies that will provide resiliency to critical facilities and infrastructure. Projects will show the ability of energy storage technologies to provide dependable supply of energy as back up generation during a grid outage or other emergency event.
