Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In this Issue, we are seeking research that will contribute to a better understanding and modeling of the valuation of grid services and emission reductions from the participation of battery storage integrated with community solar projects. Integrated battery storage with community solar offers a unique opportunity to not only enhance revenue streams, but to provide grid services that support the operation of the grid, such as ancillary services (regulation, spinning/non-spin, voltage support, black start), power quality, and reliability. We seek to address a lack of research into the added values of improved grid operations, emission reductions, and improved reliability. From an American perceptive, desired research includes those pertinent to RTO/ISO efforts to facilitate electric storage resource participation in wholesale markets (FERC Order 841). Finally, we encourage articles with a focus on projects located within disadvantaged communities.
