Overview of Regulation of Electric UtilitiesThe Federal Energy Regulatory Commission oversees:
˃ Transmission of electric energy˃ Wholesale sales of electric energy (i.e., sales for resale)
State authorities (e.g., Georgia Public Service Commission) regulate:
˃ Local distribution of electric energy˃ Retail sales of electric energy (i.e., sales to end-users)
Many publicly-owned electric utilities (e.g., municipal utilities) are largely self-regulating

7
Classifying Electric Utility Assets Regulators set terms and conditions for adding new electric utility technologies and determine cost recovery for those technologies based on the classification of the asset as Generation, Transmission, or Distribution

Electricity Storage Can Provide Many ServicesMaintaining service to transmission customers
˃ Supplying reactive power or acting as a virtual replacement transmission circuit in the event of a line trip
Generation-related services˃ Shifting electricity to periods of peak demand ˃ Providing ancillary services (e.g., frequency regulation, load-
following)
Distribution-related services˃ Provide voltage support or acting as a virtual replacement
distribution circuit in the event of a line trip ˃ Support for demand response

9
Regulatory Uncertainty on Electricity StorageAncillary services
˃ Some regions have already adjusted ancillary service rules to accommodate electricity storage. Proposed FERC regulations will also address this issue
˃ FERC has issued a Notice of Inquiry on other ancillary services policies and accounting treatment for storage technologies
Recovery of storage costs in transmission rates˃ FERC has reached different conclusions in two recent cases
Current FERC policy on cost-recovery for electricity storage assets is to address these issues on a case-by-case basis
Smart Grid: A 360o View of Battery Storage
10
State Options for Electricity StorageUtilities installing electricity storage to support the distribution system can be included in bundled retail rates
˃ In regions with integrated resource planning, electricity storage can be included in the range of available resources to meet a utility’s overall service obligations
Possible specific procurement requirements/targets for electricity storage
˃ In 2010, California passed a law requiring the state utilities commission to determine appropriate targets (if any) for each utility to procure cost-effective electricity storage systems
State regulation of storage is also expected to evolve

Technology Examples
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)
Li batteries (Li-ion, Li-Air), Flow batteries (VRd), Sodium Sulfur (Na/S), Lead-Acid, Sodium-metal halide( GE’s DurathonTM).
Mechanical Systems Flywheel: Energy stored in a rotating mass.
Electromagnetic Systems Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES): Stores energy in a magnetic field in a coil of superconducting material.
Hydrogen Storage Fuel Cells: available energy is used to electrolyze hydrogen, which can be used to generate electricity through a fuel cell.
Fluid Storage Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES): uses the elastic potential energy of compressed air. Stored compressed air is used to drive turbines & generate power.
Vehicle-to-Grid EV batteries as controllable load.
Energy Storage Technologies
19
» BESS:• Bridging Power: provide operating reserves, load following, and reserves to mitigate RE
uncertainties (e.g., forecast, commitment errors) • Secondary power source where regulations limit the use of diesel generation • Energy Management: enables SmartGrid flexibility to move power over longer timescales • Community-based BESS offers storage hub, enabling Smart MicroGrids• Co-locate with PVs to share power electronics
» Flywheel, SMES:• Power quality applications for SmartGrid to enable variable DER penetration (frequency
regulation): rapid response, high efficiency.
» Hydrogen Energy Storage:• Energy Management: enables SmartGrid flexibility to move power over longer timescales » Hydrogen Assisted Renewable Power System (HARP) in Bella Coola, B.C. (GE Digital
Energy and Powertech): Integration of renewable hydroelectric power and clean fuel cell technology to displace diesel generation and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The benefits will be optimized through the use of a microgrid system which will wirelessly monitor and react to changes in supply and demand.

» CAES:• Energy Management, enabling SmartGrid flexibility: Absorb surplus
electricity from renewables during off-peak periods in the form of compressed air, and then use the compressed air to generate power during peak demand periods. Zero emissions, efficiency ~70%
» Adiabatic-CAES: GRC Munich: ADELE project:» Unlike other A-CAES, ADELE stores and then uses the immense amount of
thermal energy generated during the air compression process to later help produce the electricity.
» Isothermal-CAES: SustainX (GE funded):» The key to I-CAES is a water spray that keeps the air at a constant
temperature through the compression and storing process. Allows efficiency to near 90%.
» Vehicle-to-Grid:• Utilizing EV batteries as a SmartGrid DER
o Source of dispatchable demand and demand response o Controlled charging can be timed to periods of greatest variable DER output,
while charging rates can be controlled to provide contingency reserves or frequency regulation reserves
• Distributed storage: EVs can partially discharge stored energy into the SmartGrid
CAES:Large scale grid
storage, air “battery” can
compensate for RE intermittency

MdS PV/Battery System• Forest City the Building Owner is selling all of the renewable energy produced by their PV system to
PNM under the REC Solar Energy Incentive Program at $0.14/kWh.• Under the current setup, the batteries are charged ONLY from PV so all energy returned to the grid
is renewable energy.• The estimated PV production for the entire year will be approximately 27MWh. This is worth
approximately $3,780 per year. The system is also set up for TOU Energy Cost Management. This is accomplished by shifting the stored renewable energy in the battery to coincide with the utility TOU On-peak time period. This is worth approximately $2,066 (See table below). Together, both these benefits are worth approximately $5,850 per year.NEW MEXICO ELECTRIC SERVICES RATE No.3B CALIFORNIA PACIFIC GAS & ELECTRIC A-6 PLAN
