The backlog of new power generation and energy storage seeking transmission connections across the U.S. grew again in 2023, with nearly 2,600 gigawatts (GW) of generation and storage capacity now actively seeking grid interconnection, according to new research from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab).

In 2022, New York doubled its 2030 energy storage target to 6 GW, motivated by the rapid growth of renewable energy and the role of electrification. 52 The state has one of the most ambitious
At least 3 000 gigawatts (GW) of renewable power projects, of which 1 500 GW are in advanced stages, are waiting in grid connection queues – equivalent to five times the amount of solar PV and wind capacity added in 2022. This shows
From Tables 1 and 2 shows a comparative analysis and their classification of multiple energy storage systems in the MG, respectively. 51, 52 Battery storage techniques are of high
The output power of the wind-solar energy storage hybrid power generation system encounters significant fluctuations due to changes in irradiance and wind speed during
GAO conducted a technology assessment on (1) technologies that could be used to capture energy for later use within the electricity grid, (2) challenges that could impact energy storage technologies and their use on the
As a result, the type of service required in terms of energy density (very short, short, medium, and long-term storage capacity) and power density (small, medium, and large
The intermittent nature of wind power is a major challenge for wind as an energy source. Wind power generation is therefore difficult to plan, manage, sustain, and track during
The total capacity of energy projects in U.S. interconnection queues grew 40% year-over-year in 2022, with more than 1,350 GW of generation and 680 GW of storage waiting for approval to connect
The amount of new power generation and energy storage in the transmission interconnection queues across the U.S. continues to rise dramatically, with over 2,000 gigawatts (GW) of total generation and storage
First, our results suggest to industry and grid planners that the cost-effective duration for storage is closely tied to the grid’s generation mix. Solar-dominant grids tend to need 6-to-8-h storage while wind-dominant grids have a greater need for 10-to-20-h storage.
“It is promising to see the unprecedented interest and investment in new energy and storage development across the U.S., but the latest queue data also affirm that grid interconnection remains a persistent bottleneck,” said Joseph Rand, an Energy Policy Researcher at Berkeley Lab, and lead author of the study.
In the initial stage of development, the new energy scale is small, but when the new energy is in a period of rapid development, new energy on-grid with large-scale is enough to change the regional power structure and power generation characteristics, and the consumption problem will gradually increase.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) adopted major interconnection reforms in 2023 that have not yet taken effect in most regions; project developers continue to cite grid interconnection as a leading cause of project delays and cancellations.
Grids need to both operate in new ways and leverage the benefits of distributed resources, such as rooftop solar, and all sources of flexibility. This includes deploying grid-enhancing technologies and unlocking the potential of demand response and energy storage through digitalisation.
Especially, a detailed review of battery ESSs (BESSs) is provided as they are attracting much attention owing, in part, to the ongoing electrification of transportation. Then, the services that grid-connected ESSs provide to the grid are discussed. Grid connection of the BESSs requires power electronic converters.
