There are several potential benefits to pairing electricity generation with energy storage, but US network operators still have some way to go to best accommodate the fast-growing interest in so-called ‘hybrid resources’.
That was one of the key takeaways of a recently published white paper, authored by staff at the US’ Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). Across the country’s six major regional transmission organisations (RTOs) and independent system operator (ISO) jurisdictions, there were more than 62GW of hybrid projects in interconnection queues at the end of 2020, according to research FERC quoted from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
