  Large–Scale Electric Energy Storage Integration in Grids with Integrated Renewable Energy Resources
  The electricity business is the only industry sector that sells its MWh commodity without sizeable inventory. This marked lack of utility-scale storage makes electricity a highly perishable commodity produced by a prototypical just–in–time manufacturing system.
  Moreover, the limited storage capacity in today's grid severely limits the flexibility with which the grid can be operated - a particular concern for systems with deepening penetrations of integrated renewable energy resources. A grid with integrated storage resources offers multiple benefits, such as the time shift of energy utilization to shave the peak demand, improved harnessing of energy from renewable resources and reduction in the reserves requirements that are met by power plants that pollute. Storage also has numerous applications in both short– and long–term planning and in operations over a broad time spectrum.
  While the pace of ESR deployment has been slow in the past, recent technology and regulatory developments indicate major shifts in the economics and deployment of storage in transmission/ distribution networks.
  This presentation discusses the critical importance of energy storage, its current status and the challenges/ opportunities in the push for large–scale storage deployment.
  The effective resolution of these issues can harness the benefits of storage large–scale deployment and facilitate sustainable paths to meet future energy needs.
