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.
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.
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.
