Electric grids comprising generation, transmission, and consumption will undergo a fundamental paradigm**shift by introducing grid-scale energy storage (ES) systems. ES will be an invaluable asset for Canadian**utilities who are facing intense pressures to provide clean, high quality, reliable and cheap energy, by enabling**the widespread use of: (1) renewables, by overcoming intermittency and uncertainty, (2) net-zero buildings, (3)**conservation and demand management, (4) congestion mitigation for transmission systems, (5) energy**arbitrage, and more. Though pumped-hydro ES systems have existed for several decades, their use is limited**due to unsuitable geography and prohibitively high costs. In the last decade, new grid-scale ES technologies**have emerged with commercial potential that are deployable in urban and rural geographies at costs suitable for**electric grids including: (1) lithium-ion batteries, (2) flywheels, (3) compressed-air ES systems, and, (4)**thermal ES systems. However, these ES technologies face significant hurdles, including high costs, technical**challenges, and poor power system interfaces from technical, economic, policy and regulatory perspectives.**Tapping into existing academic and industry research facilities and demonstration projects, in concert with**Canadian researchers, technology providers, manufacturers, utilities, and governmental agencies, the NSERC**Energy Storage Technology (NEST) Network will foster improved synergistic, networked, collaborative and**multidisciplinary research with the objective of taking these four promising grid-scale ES technologies and**developing a suite of solutions to propel them into commercial success over the next five years and beyond.**Focusing on four research Themes: 1) ES Technologies; 2) Power Electronics; 3) Systems Integration; and 4)**Economics, Policy and Social Aspects, the NEST Network will yield new ES systems technologies and power**electronics converters, innovative power system integration methods, and complementary economic models,**policies, and regulations. It will enable Canadian leadership in ES and train highly qualified personnel with**expertise in ES, driving the sector and Canadian economy forward.

通过引入电网规模的储能(ES)系统，包括发电、输电和用电的电网将经历一场根本性的转变。对于面临提供清洁、高质量、可靠和廉价能源的巨大压力的加拿大**公用事业公司来说，ES将是一项宝贵的资产，因为它使**能够广泛使用：(1)可再生能源，通过克服间歇性和不确定性，(2)净零建筑，(3)**节能和需求管理，(4)缓解传输系统的拥堵，(5)能源**套利，等等。尽管抽水蓄能系统已经存在了几十年，但由于不适合的地理位置和高得令人望而却步的成本，它们的使用受到了限制。在过去的十年里，新的电网规模的ES技术**已经出现，这些技术**具有商业潜力，可以部署在城市和农村地区，成本适合**电网**，包括：(1)锂离子电池，(2)飞轮，(3)压缩空气ES系统，和(4)**热ES系统。然而，这些ES技术面临着巨大的障碍，包括高昂的成本、技术**挑战以及从技术、经济、政策和监管角度看电力系统接口不佳。**利用现有的学术和行业研究设施和示范项目，与**加拿大研究人员、技术提供商、制造商、公用事业公司和政府机构合作，NSERC**储能技术(Nest)网络将促进更好的协同性、网络化、协作性和**多学科研究，目标是采用这四种前景看好的网格规模的ES技术，并**开发一套解决方案，以推动它们在未来五年及以后取得商业成功。**专注于四个研究主题：1)ES技术；2)电力电子；3)系统集成；4)经济、政策和社会方面，Nest网络将产生新的ES系统技术和电力**电子转换器，创新的电力系统集成方法，以及补充的经济模式、**政策和法规。它将使加拿大在教育领域处于领先地位，并培养具有**教育专业知识的高素质人才，推动该行业和加拿大经济向前发展。
