In Oregon, law HB 2193 mandates that 5 MWh of energy storage must be working in the grid by 2020. New Jersey passed A3723 in 2018 that sets New Jersey''s energy storage target at 2,000 MW by 2030. Arizona State Commissioner Andy Tobin has proposed a target of 3,000 MW in energy storage by 2030.
Sources such as solar and wind energy are intermittent, and this is seen as a barrier to their wide utilization. The increasing grid integration of intermittent renewable energy sources generation significantly changes the scenario of distribution grid operations. Such operational challenges are minimized by the incorporation of the energy storage …

Our research shows considerable near-term potential for stationary energy storage. One reason for this is that costs are falling and could be $200 per kilowatt-hour in 2020, half today''s price, and $160 per kilowatt-hour or less in 2025. Another is that identifying the most economical projects and highest-potential customers for storage has ...
