Presently, most of the Electric Power Research Institute work assessing battery storage impacts on electric utility systems has been performed on a non-site specific basis, using generation planning and operational simulation methodology. This approach is very useful for first-cut long-term economic benefit assessments, but it neglects battery storage impacts on electrical transmission and distribution (T D) systems. Battery storage installations have significant siting flexibility and dynamic operating capability compared to many other generation alternatives. Assessment of many associated potential battery storage benefits requires site-specific transmission and distribution system analysis. The purpose of this project was to perform an initial example economic analysis of the potential impact battery storage on a partial list of transmission and distribution system costs. This initial example study addressed three of the most apparent potential transmission and distribution (T D) system benefits associated with the installation of battery storage: T D system reliability and deferral of new T D facilities; relative T D system electrical losses; and impacts on stability limited transmission system. This initial study indicates that installing batteries in the best locations may result in substantial T D system benefits. 3 refs., 48 figs., 24 tabs.
