The US Department of Energy, Electric Power Research Institute, and others have sponsored work to determine the feasibility of customer-side-of-the-meter battery storage. This demand side peak shaving concept has been shown to be economic in a number of industrial and commercial applications. Its commercial acceptance has been slow due to a number of concerns of the primary organizations; customers, utilities, and equipment manufacturers. This paper highlights the concerns of these organizations and shows from a historical perspective how a technology transfer strategy evolved to address these concerns. A summary of some recent projects related to lead-acid battery storage is also presented.
