This report provides an overview of test results for four energy storage systems funded under the Washington Clean Energy Fund deployed at three utilities in Washington State. Integration of energy storage into the U.S. grid has been gathering momentum across the industry, especially as penetration of power generated by renewable resources increases. Several states have storage procurement targets to deal with a variety of issues, such as afternoon total system load ramping requirements, frequency regulation/control, and integration power generated from by renewable resources. This report presents the performance test results for battery energy storage systems (BESS) funded by the Washington Clean Energy Fund (CEF) 1 Program ($$\$$$$14.3 million in state funding supporting a total investment of $$\$$$$43 million). For each project, the technical attributes of the BESS were tested, defined, and evaluated in detail. These projects were funded jointly by Avista, the Snohomish Public Utility District (SnoPUD), Puget Sound Energy (PSE), the Washington CEF, and the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability (DOE-OE).
