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.**

能源系统正在发展。 随着电网架构的变化和间歇性可再生发电机的普及率不断增长，能源系统的灵活性变得越来越重要。 存储已被确定为这种灵活性的一个关键组成部分，有助于从技术和市场角度调和供需之间的不平衡。 ES的好处可以包括改善可再生能源整合的条件，减少化石燃料峰值发电厂，提高电力质量和可靠性，推迟系统升级成本，以及提高电力机动性。 尽管有这些好处，但新的ES技术的成功商业化可能是困难的。 许多专家系统技术的广泛商业实现面临一些挑战。第一个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的评估。这取决于服务的市场，但也取决于存储资产提供这些服务的能力。因此，存储价值主张的准确性不仅受到特定市场知识的影响，而且还受到资产性能的真实细节的影响。* 申请人将通过开发水下连接的电网的更有代表性的瞬态操作模型来推进现有技术的火用经济设计优化工具。 该设施将发展成为一个全面的储能现场实验室（ESFL）。 改进后的火用经济工具将通过ESFL的现场运行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，以及混合储能解决方案，该解决方案结合了联合收割机互补的ES技术，以定制性能。申请人还将研究一种新的储能技术，该技术将发电和储能结合在一起，在转换为电力之前，能量以方便的形式直接储存。 因此，可以减轻与多次能量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储能技术的创新来发展能源系统。 要做到这一点，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的火用经济方法和储能现场实验室，以确定系统的优势和劣势，从而通过创新设计对其进行智能优化。 这些工具的战略应用应能改进设计，并将提高最佳解决方案的商业化潜力;不断发展能源系统，以改善所有利益攸关方。
