Now is a historic time reminiscent of 1970 ….

In 1970, a computer was many times more expensive than a typewriter.

An evaluation based solely upon typing documents would say that a computer was not worth the money.

As we know, the capabilities of the computer were much greater.

Investment in computers brought about huge gains for those who saw the capabilities.

Introduction and Context

5

What are we considering?» Setting thoughtful goals for an electric utility energy storage

procurement portfolio.

Why are we considering goals?» Allow us to proactively move toward true grid optimization by

fully taking advantage of current technological and financial benefits of energy storage.

» Accelerate realization of these benefits by advancing “network effects” made possible by energy storage, such as system reliability and renewable integration.

AB 2514

Assembly Bill 2514 created the focus and forum to consider an energy storage procurement portfolio:

Procurement goals should be implemented if they are cost-effective and commercially available.

» We think that this proceeding will very likely show energy storage to be cost-effective in many ways today, if all benefits are considered.

» Many existing procurement-related rules and policies are roadblocks to fully realizing all benefits of energy storage.

» Reasonable and justifiable procurement goals are a good option that can fulfill the vision of AB 2514.

Key Question #1

7

When do procurement goals make sense?

Page 8: California Energy Storage Alliance

Confidential

When do procurement goals make sense?

8

Procurement goals for a technology class make sense when:

1. All benefits are not monetized through existing rules and policies, but un-captured benefits demonstrate the technology’s cost-effectiveness.

2. Widespread deployment creates net benefits for society and ratepayers.

3. Increasing scale improves cost-effectiveness compared to business-as-usual alternatives.

4. The inertia of business-as-usual procurement must be overcome.

5. Near-term inaction will risk incurring substantial lost opportunity costs.

3: Scale increases cost-effectiveness

11

Benefits of investment in other industries – renewable energy cost curves» Other renewable energy

industries have seen great cost reductions through R&D and increased scale.

» Energy storage is just reaching scale to the point of large cost improvements – we should support it to maturity and achieve related benefits.

IPCC 2011

Page 12: California Energy Storage Alliance

Confidential

4: Inertia must be overcome

12

Existing rules and procurement are oriented toward traditional generation and do not encourage innovation:

» Existing long term purchase agreements do not allow for ROI commensurate with benefits, and do not encourage use of new technologies and business arrangements.

» Grid structure and long-term procurement planning are inflexible and unaccommodating of transformation.

» Insufficient consideration is given to status quo risks: fuel price/availability, system reliability, environmental externalities, planning restrictions etc.

» Ancillary resource capacity minimum requirements are excessive.

Page 13: California Energy Storage Alliance

Confidential

5: Near-term inaction has substantial risks

13

Under business as usual, the 33% RPS will not reduce GHGs

We are procuring capacity now for 2018. Those generators will last for 30+ years.

Our decisions today affect the grid for the next half-century.

Procuring only fossil resources exposes ratepayers to considerable fuel risk

DOE EIA natural gas price projections have historically underestimated trends.

Procurement goals for a technology class make sense when:

1. All benefits are not monetized through existing rules and policies, but un-captured benefits demonstrate the technology’s cost effectiveness.

3. Increasing scale improves cost effectiveness compared to business-as-usual alternatives.

4. The inertia of business-as-usual procurement must be overcome.5. Near-term inaction will risk incurring substantial lost opportunity costs.

Conclusion: procurement goals for energy storage should be set now; to help realize a robust, reliable, sustainable grid of the future

Key Question #2

15

How should goals be established?

Page 16: California Energy Storage Alliance

Confidential

Criteria

16

Optimum goals should be based upon the following criteria» Sufficient scale to provide network benefits.» Consistency over time -- provide time to allow the market to invest. Policy cannot be changed in short run.» Sufficient volume to spur investment that will reduce cost.» Sufficient volume to overcome existing barriers.» Sufficient deployment over time to allow the technology to stand on its own in the long term.» Sufficient deployment to avoid the lost opportunity costs of inaction.» Deployment in all areas where energy storage makes sense: transmission, distribution, behind the meter.» Simplicity and clarity:

» Allow stakeholders to see a clear goal to direct investment.» Allow utilities to determine where energy storage can be deployed to greatest advantage in their

systems.

Fundamental criteria: similar or superior benefit-to-cost when compared to other viable alternativesOR when societal benefits are both 1) significant and 2) challenging to internalize.

Page 17: California Energy Storage Alliance

California’s RPS represents a successful example

17

» Renewable generation capacity alone has increased by 77% since the RPS began in 2004.

» Prior to the RPS, capacity only increased by 33% over the previous 8 years.

» California now generates almost 12% of all energy needs from renewable resources.

» In contrast: » Vermont has a voluntary

RPS generates <1%» Mississippi has no RPS

and generates .01%

Procurement Goals Should be Measured in MW

33

MW procurement goals are ideal for several reasons:

» The grid is composed of various assets with set generation, transmission, and consumption capacities. Procurement goals should be based around this common measurement metric.

» MW metrics allow for recognized manufacturing targets and related production/infrastructure investments for storage companies.

» As Storage Technology becomes less expensive, capacity-based procurement goals will lead to lower overall costs.

» Output time frames can be application-specific (i.e. frequency regulation can require 15 minute capabilities, while demand-side-management can be measured in hours) without converting overall goals to MWh, which can be problematic.

ISO TURBINE RATING

» Gas turbines run at higher power output levels at ideal inlet air temperature.

» Because of this, on a hot day the gas turbine loses output and operates less efficiently. Demand is highest during these hot weather conditions.

» Thermal energy storage can use cold water to control turbine air temperature, increasing output and efficiency – especially when it’s needed most.

Richer Spectrum of Benefits Over Time

36

» A system which starts out providing one set of benefits may provide other benefits over its lifetime. This is especially true for flexible energy storage systems.

» This transition can happen gradually or quickly to best suit the needs of the grid

» This increasing spectrum of benefits reduces the risk of deploying a storage asset on the grid and provides long term value for ratepayers.

Energy Storage reduces greenhouse gas emissions

Eyer 2010

» Storage reduces GHG emissions by helping generation run more efficiently.

» Fewer startups» Reduced partial load operation» Reduced output variability» More generation when ambient

temperature is lower

» Offsets need for peaking generation.

» Facilitates the widespread integration of renewables.

2: Widespread deployment benefits society and ratepayers

39

Network Effects: widespread energy storage can help enable increased use of renewable energy in California

“Use of storage also avoids greenhouse gas emissions increases associated with scheduling combustion turbines ‘on’ strictly for regulation and ramping duty.”

“The measurement of the relative effectiveness of storage to a combustion turbine demonstrates that, depending upon system conditions and other factors, a 30 to 50 MW storage device is as effective as a 100 MW CT used for regulation and ramping purposes.”

“The 3,000 to 4,000 MW of storage which could be used to address renewables management requires a ramp rate capacity of 5 to 10 MW/second, or 0 to full power charging / discharging in 5 minutes. This equals or exceeds the ramping capabilities of most conventional generating units, and particularly the larger combustion turbines. Smaller combustion turbines in the California ISO database can meet this ramp rate requirement, but there are insufficient quantities of such units to provide the required 3,000 to 4,000 MW of fast ramping.”

Reduced Risk: energy storage can diversify our portfolio

Karpinski 2012

» Energy storage is a key component of a new, diverse, and cleaner grid.

» Energy Storage facilitates the introduction of new generation and T&D technology, diversifying the grid and reducing dependency and vulnerability to disruption.

» Especially important with price and availability risk of conventional fuels.

Reliability» Example: Energy storage reduces

output uncertainty attributable to wind forecast errors.

» Technology-specific benefits: flywheel or battery spinning reserves free up generators, distributed energy storage provides local backup reliability.

» Extends to entire grid: system reliability through load following, demand side management, etc.

4: Inertia must be overcome

46

Existing rules and procurement are oriented toward traditional generation.A few potential changes in California would help enable energy storage development:

» Ancillary resource capacity minimum requirements should be lower.

» Long-term payment mechanisms for fast response regulation and similar services.

» 30-60 minute continuous energy requirement should be reduced or eliminated.

» CAISO’s Energy Management System (EMS) should accommodate negative power dispatch, thus accommodating energy-neutral resources.

» Utilities should establish long term purchase agreements for ancillary services, which would greatly improve the ability to secure capital for storage financing.

Procurement for the future should happen now.

California Energy Commission, 2012

» Median age of the California generation fleet is ~30 years, and T&D infrastructure is aging.

» Our decisions today will affect the grid for the next half-century.

» Construction equals long-term commitment – to financing, grid structure, fuel reliance, environmental impact, etc.
