When a battery bank is installed at a host site there are multiple ways that it can be used. Some “advanced energy storage” systems are designed for peak clipping, others for peak energy savings. Other systems are installed to participate in utility demand-response programs. Still other storage systems are being deployed to support Independent System Operator (ISO) operations, at the macro, grid level.

Just as the industry is abuzz about storage and the lithium ion revolution, the inner-circle industry is abuzz about ancillary services and ways distributed resources can support the grid. It’s been happening at scale now for 5 – 6 years, and now is being promoted and maturing. Ancillary services markets are developing fast thanks to advanced energy storage, ideal ramping resources now becoming more and more common distributed behind the meter.
