Appendix E to Real Time Grid Reliability Management 2005 Report

This research will determine the current status of energy storage technology and identify related issues, research gaps, barriers, and opportunities as well as specific targets or milestones and specific actions necessary for development and deployment of energy storage technologies in California. The ultimate goals are to establish a 2020 Energy Storage Vision for California, to develop scenarios for how energy storage may be applied throughout California’s electric power system, and to estimate the costs and benefits of such a vision as compared to a scenario without deployment of energy storage Transmission Load Modeling Research.

Developed and applied a mathematical approach using probabilities to more accurately describe load and generation time dependence and forecasting uncertainties to be used to predict congestion in California.

Developed new reliability real-time management tools and functional specifications for a commercial vendor to create production-quality versions of these tools for operations. Applications included the use of wide-area, real-time phasor measurements to display phase angle change and mode damping levels for low-frequency grid oscillations, and a voltage security analysis tool.
