Energy systems are evolving. Energy system flexibility is becoming increasingly important as grid architectures change and the penetration of intermittent renewable generators continue to grow. Storage has been identified as a critical component of such flexibility by helping to reconcile imbalances between supply and demand from both technical and market perspectives. Benefits of ES can include improved conditions for renewables integration, a reduction of fossil fuel peaker plants, improved power quality and reliability, deferral of system upgrade costs, and improved power maneuverability. For all of these benefits, successful commercialization of new ES technologies can be difficult. A few challenges face the broad commercial realization of many ES technologies. The first is a proper valuation of all the beneficial services storage can provide to stakeholders. This depends on the market for the services, but also, the ability of the storage asset to provide those services. Thus accuracy of storage value propositions is affected by specific market knowledge, but also the true details of asset performance.*** The applicant will advance state of the art exergoeconomic design optimization tools through the development of a more representative, transient operation model of a grid connected under water compressed air energy storage facility. The facility will be developed into a full scale Energy Storage Field Laboratory (ESFL). The improved exergoeconomic tools will be developed and validated with field operational data from the ESFL. The applicant will then apply the enhanced techniques to evolve a selection of less mature fluids based energy storage concepts. These include innovative inland and offshore variations of pumped hydro storage, and hybrid energy storage solutions that combine complementary ES technologies to custom tailor performance. The applicant will also investigate a new class of energy storage technology that blends generation and storage where energy is stored directly in a convenient form before converting to electricity. Subsequently, the cost of losses and extra equipment associated with multiple energy conversions can be mitigated.*** The overarching objective of the proposal is to evolve energy systems through innovations in energy storage technologies. To do this will require meaningful improvements in technology efficiency, flexibility, and cost. The planned advanced exergoeconomic approach and Energy Storage Field Laboratory will be developed to identify system strengths and weaknesses so they may be intelligently optimized by innovative design. The strategic application of these tools should improve designs, and will increase commercialization potential for the best solutions; evolving energy systems for the betterment of all stakeholders.**

能源系统正在不断发展。 随着电网架构的变化和间歇性可再生能源发电机的渗透率持续增长，能源系统的灵活性变得越来越重要。 存储已被认为是这种灵活性的关键组成部分，有助于从技术和市场角度协调供需之间的不平衡。 ES 的好处包括改善可再生能源并网条件、减少化石燃料调峰发电厂、提高电能质量和可靠性、推迟系统升级成本以及提高电力可操作性。 尽管有所有这些好处，新 ES 技术的成功商业化可能很困难。 许多 ES 技术的广泛商业实现面临着一些挑战。首先是对存储可以为利益相关者提供的所有有益服务进行适当评估。这取决于服务市场，也取决于存储资产提供这些服务的能力。因此，储能价值主张的准确性不仅受到特定市场知识的影响，而且还受到资产绩效的真实细节的影响。***申请人将通过开发更具代表性的水下压缩空气储能设施的瞬态运行模型来推进最先进的能源经济设计优化工具。 该设施将发展成为一个全规模的储能现场实验室（ESFL）。 改进后的能源经济工具将利用 ESFL 的现场操作数据进行开发和验证。然后，申请人将应用增强的技术来发展一系列不太成熟的基于流体的能量存储概念。 其中包括创新的内陆和海上抽水蓄能变体，以及将互补的 ES 技术与定制性能相结合的混合储能解决方案。申请人还将研究一种新型能源存储技术，该技术将发电和存储相结合，在将能量转换为电力之前直接以方便的形式存储。 随后，可以减轻与多次能源转换相关的损失和额外设备的成本。*** 该提案的总体目标是通过能源存储技术的创新来发展能源系统。 为此，需要在技术效率、灵活性和成本方面进行有意义的改进。 将开发计划中的先进能源经济方法和储能现场实验室，以确定系统的优势和劣势，以便通过创新设计对其进行智能优化。 这些工具的战略应用应该改进设计，并将增加最佳解决方案的商业化潜力；不断发展的能源系统，以造福所有利益相关者。**
