Abstract

For energy storage to be part of the transmission solution, storage developers need to work with transmission owners and follow the Regional Transmission Organization (RTO) transmission planning protocols. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Order 841 mostly treats Electric Storage Resource (ESR) as a generation asset. To date, no FERC order lays out a path for treating energy storage as a transmission asset. One of FERC-jurisdictional RTOs–Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO)–has sent a “storage as a transmission-only asset” proposal to FERC, which FERC did not reject but did not approve either. This MISO filing begs the question–how to treat energy storage as a transmission project? The industry needs to understand how RTO cost allocation works for new and existing transmission projects. To appreciate cost allocation, stakeholders need to grasp the fundamentals of transmission project categories. Because to put together a business case for storage, modeling is essential. And modeling for reliability and economic projects vary. Getting into the weeds of transmission planning is what it takes to treat storage as a transmission asset.

如何将储能视为输电资产?

为了使储能成为输电解决方案的一部分，储能开发商需要与输电业主合作，并遵循区域输电组织(RTO)的输电规划协议。联邦能源管理委员会(FERC)第841号命令主要将电力存储资源(ESR)视为发电资产。到目前为止，联邦能源管理委员会还没有命令将储能作为输电资产来处理。FERC管辖的rtos之一——中部独立系统运营商(MISO)——向FERC提交了一份“存储仅作为传输资产”的提案，FERC没有拒绝，但也没有批准。这份MISO文件回避了一个问题——如何将储能视为输电项目?该行业需要了解RTO成本分配对新建和现有输电项目的影响。为了更好地理解成本分配，利益相关者需要掌握输电项目类别的基本知识。因为要将存储的业务案例组合在一起，建模是必不可少的。可靠性和经济项目的模型各不相同。将存储视为一项传输资产，就需要深入到传输规划的杂草中。
