Energy Storage: Tackling the Revenue Modeling Challenge
GridSME Engineering & Interconnection Team • Mar 22, 2019

In an effort to help a broad audience see and understand how storage can be monetized in wholesale electricity markets (such as in CAISO), GridSME is using its eStorm model to simulate a fictional in-front-of-the-meter battery operating on a Bay Area Pnode throughout 2019.

We call this fictional storage project Greenbrier – a 2 MW, 8 MWh standalone storage project. As the year progresses, we’ll share the battery’s performance, strategy, results, and our analysis. Below are the results from March.

🚨 NERC Alert: Assessing 6 GHz Communication Impact on Electric Industry NERC has issued a Level 2 Alert concerning 6 GHz Communication Penetration in the Electric Industry, targeting Distribution Providers (DP), Distribution Provider UFLS-Only (DP-UFLS), Generator Owners (GO), and Transmission Owners (TO). The alert aims to evaluate reliance on 6 GHz technology and potential interference severity. Respondents must address a series of questions by July 8, 2024, to assess the situation comprehensively. Although only registered entities can respond directly, the alert is publicly available. Action items include acknowledging the alert and completing the questionnaire. Recommendations include identifying critical circuits and conducting baseline performance tests. It's crucial to note that these recommendations are distinct from requirements, as clarified by NERC. This alert underscores the necessity of assessing 6 GHz communication's impact on industry reliability and security. Stakeholders should stay informed and promptly address the alert's requirements.
