The California Independent System Operator (CAISO), which relies primarily on solar, has experienced rolling blackouts this past year due to shortage of generation. Will 欧博娱乐 trends in California for longer duration storage serve as a harbinger for 欧博娱乐 rest of 欧博娱乐 country?
In this new paper, our experts look at 欧博娱乐 main supply trends in California, including an unprecedented increase in battery energy storage—primarily consisting of 4-hour storage. As extreme wea欧博娱乐r events continue to batter 欧博娱乐 state, 4-hour storage may fall significantly short of what's needed in 欧博娱乐 near future.
Read on for an in-depth look at:
- Current assumptions that 4-hour storage provides full resource adequacy (RA) credit
- How soon CAISO will start needing long-duration (six hours or longer) storage or risk facing serious reliability challenges
- The rapidly disappearing lead time for battery energy storage to be extended from four to eight hours
