Technical FAQs 4

Can energy storage delay the construction of new transmission lines?

The study uses an online solution method to conclude that energy storage can delay the construction of new transmission lines. In reference , a stochastic optimization model for the coordinated planning of transmission networks and energy storage is proposed, which considers both long-term and short-term uncertainties.

Does energy storage cost affect coordination planning of transmission network and energy storage?

The high cost of energy storage limits the allocation of more energy storage in planning models with economic optimality as the objective function. This section further discusses the impact of energy storage costs on the coordination planning of transmission network and energy storage.

Should energy storage and transmission lines be coordinated?

However, most existing studies on the coordinated planning of energy storage and transmission lines are based on static planning. They implement a one-time planning process from the current state to the target year, failing to consider the gradual growth of load demand and renewable energy capacity.

Can energy storage be a non-wires alternative to transmission line expansion?

Energy storage can serve as a non-wires alternative to traditional transmission line expansion schemes. Therefore the synergistic planning of transmission grid and energy storage has been widely studied in recent years. Reference analyses the necessity and principles of energy storage coordination in energy internet development.
