IN THIS ISSUE: Energy Storage in Deregulated Power Markets Integrating Distributed Generation into the Smarter Grid A Standard Solar Contract Is Developed Progress in DOE’s Smart Grid Investment Grant Program Energy Storage in Deregulated Power Markets By Michael I. Henderson The large scale development of energy storage presents risks and opportunities. Storage devices can provide more efficient use of the transmission and distribution systems, facilitate the development of variable resources and improve the economic and environmental performance of electric power production resources. But increased reliance on storage will also affect the reliability of the power system and there will be a need for improved modeling of the net load forecasts, resource performance and transmission system performance. Read more >> Integrating Distributed Generation into the Smarter Grid By Gene Zimon Renewables and distributed generation are here to stay. Grid operators should recognize that distributed supplies must be treated like any other supply source and be fully integrated into transmission and distribution network operations systems. Already there are innovative and cost-effective solutions that are designed to solve or mitigate the problem. Read more >> A Standard Solar Contract Is Developed By Paul Schwabe and Travis Lowder The U.S. solar industry represented a $11.5 billion market in 2012; more than 300,000 systems are in place. With new and more creative financing options, the market could grow even faster and be larger. A working group launched by the Energy Department through its National Renewable Energy Laboratory aims to lower the cost of capital for solar projects by standardizing contracts so that contractual elements like lease payments can be bundled and traded as investment products.
