High-Value Energy Storage for the Grid: A Multi-Dimensional Look

The conceptual attractiveness of energy storage in the electrical power grid has grown in recent years with Smart Grid initiatives. But cost is a problem, interwoven with the complexity of quantifying the benefits of energy storage. This analysis builds toward a multi-dimensional picture of storage that is offered as a step toward identifying and removing the gaps and “friction” that permeate the delivery chain from research laboratory to grid deployment.
