This EPRI Battery Energy Storage Roadmap is a planning tool for EPRI and its Members that identifies gaps in accelerating significant deployment of BESS capacity and prioritizes the applied research activities that EPRI and its Members will undertake.
What is the EPRI battery energy storage roadmap?
Gaps were sorted by project set to facilitate focused, long-term research planning that incorporates projects and activities to close the gaps. This EPRI Battery Energy Storage Roadmap contains four Future State Pillars, each representing an aspect of EPRI's mission to advance safe, reliable, affordable, and clean energy.
The EPRI Battery Energy Storage Roadmap Future State Pillars reflect EPRI's mission to advance safe, reliable, affordable, and clean energy. Click on a Future State Pillar to see the Vision, explore the Gaps, and learn about how EPRI is addressing the gaps.
EPRI performs applied energy storage research across its Programs. Listed below are EPRI's three programs with a dedicated energy storage focus. These programs collaborate together and with other EPRI programs to develop industry-leading resources that unlock the value of energy storage.
For example, EPRI conducted eight site visits to lithium-ion battery storage projects in the United States. The sites included systems being designed, under construction, and already operational; the systems varied in size from 0.3 MW/0.6 MWh to 182 MW/730 MWh.
What is EPRI's energy storage roadmap?
EPRI's the original Energy Storage Roadmap and current Battery Energy Storage Roadmap were developed using the process shown below: Originally published in 2020, EPRI's Energy Storage Roadmap envisioned a path to 2025 in which energy storage enhances safe, reliable, affordable, and environmentally responsible electric power.
What is the EPRI database?
An EPRI developed database for documenting public data on battery failure events sourced through EPRI work and industry collaboration. An introduction to energy storage safety concepts and research, with links to publicly available guides and resources.
