These contracts allocate the risks of project development, construction, and performance between the parties and include the price that will be paid by the utility for the resource or the energy storage services that are to be provided.
The US power grid operates on an AC current at 60 Hz. Most renewable generation (wind and solar) and battery energy storage generate direct current, meaning that the flow of electrons is in only one direction. A transformer is required to transform this DC into AC so that it can be transmitted onto the power grid.
In each case, there are a number of different options and alternatives. When developing an energy storage project, a project owner can either engage an EPC contractor to provide a fully-wrapped EPC agreement that will encompass the procurement, installation, and commissioning of batteries.
From the perspective of the industry, the relief could not come soon enough. With the increasing penetration of renewable energy resources, the demand for energy storage resources that can provide capacity—the ability to provide dispatchable energy—has become paramount.
