New York is a top US energy storage market and leads renewable integration with the recent Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act. Battery energy storage systems are the most promising technology needed to stabilize the challenges of renewables and distributed energy resources. To meet its 1,500 MW energy storage target by 2025 and 3,000 MW target by 2030, New York will need to make battery storage a mainstream resource. ABB’s Nodal Advisory team performed a study on new battery energy storage capacity installations in the New York ISO, that evaluates the impact of different levels of storage penetration. Further, the study considers different points of interconnection for the energy storage, such as pairing with renewables, locating at highly congested transmission lines or interconnecting at high demand substations. The presentation will focus on study assumptions and findings.
