EMPOWERING CLEAN ENERGY
ENERGY STORAGE
decarbonization goals around the world, there are many
challenges and barriers to the accelerated deployment of
LDES. This technology session will examine the opportunity
for innovative, yet proven energy storage technologies to
accelerate the United States decarbonization pathway. From
Advanced Compressed Air Energy Storage (A-CAES) to hydroelectric
power - multiple mechanical based technologies
offer medium to long duration, as well as seasonal storage
solutions. These technologies are able to reduce curtailment
as well as manage system constraints caused by or affecting
renewable energy sources. This session details what kind
of regulatory framework is required to incentivize investment
into LDES technologies, lessons learned from projects
currently under development, and a look to how LDES and
renewables can work together to strengthen United States
decarbonization goals.
❯❯ Long-Duration Energy Storage Will
Deliver Near-Term Carbon Reductions
for a Fully-Decarbonized Energy System
Presented by: ESS INC
Today, regions that have led the deployment of solar capacity
are experiencing a side effect of their success: curtailment
when supply outstrips demand and shortfalls after the sun
sets. Curtailment of solar assets represents lost opportunities
for clean energy, carbon reductions and project revenue.
Meanwhile, fossil generation fills the gap when renewables
are unavailable, continuing to emit carbon. Adding long-duration
energy storage (LDES) to the grid enables excess
generation to be captured when solar resources are plentiful
and deployed when needed to enable the retirement of
fossil generation and deliver a decarbonized energy system.
This presentation will highlight the role of energy storage in
delivering short term carbon benefits and enabling deep decarbonization
and a fully renewable grid in the long-term; key
considerations for utilities and developers seeking to reduce
Scope 1-3 emissions, the impacts of various energy storage
technologies; and how responsibly sourced and sited LDES
can deliver a resilient, decarbonized energy future.
❯❯ Compact and Cost-Effective LongDuration
Storage using Organic SolidFlow
Batteries
Presented by: CMBLU ENERGY, INC.
Organic solid-flow batteries provide an interest opportunity
for safe, compact, and cost-effective long duration energy
storage for use by electric utilities, C&I customers, and microgrids.
This presentation will highloight cycling data that
demonstrates energy density and other performance metrics
of organic solid-flow in comparison to other flow battery
technologies including lithium ion.
❯❯ Case Study: ACES Hydrogen Cavern
Storage
Presented by: MITSUBISHI POWER
Located in Delta, Utah, the Advanced Clean Energy Storage
hub will be a large renewable energy storage facility. Capable
of decarbonizing the western United States, the site will
enable utility and industrial scale green hydrogen production
from renewable energy sources and store the hydrogen in
underground salt dome caverns to provide a huge reservoir
of renewable fuel for power generation.The first project to
combine utility and industrial scale renewable hydrogen
production, storage, and transmission, the Advanced Clean
Energy Storage hub will support the Intermountain Power
Agency's (IPA) IPP Renewed Project-an 840 MW hydrogen-capable
gas turbine combined cycle power plant that
will initially run on a blend of 30% green hydrogen and 70%
natural gas starting in 2025 and incrementally expanding to
100% green hydrogen by 2045. From this initial project, ACES
Delta will deploy hydrogen hubs across the United States to
accelerate and support the clean energy transition.
