EASE has prepared a short summary on one of the following energy storage application groups - Services to Support Distribution Infrastructure.

Services to Support Transmission Infrastructure
The Task Force on Segmentation of Applications has developed the Services to Support Transmission Infrastructure Report, among other application descriptions. This work builds on the Summary of Energy Storage Applications published in June 2020.
This overview provides a summary of different energy storage applications, focused mainly on the electricity system. Transmission infrastructure services could be provided by energy storage could as an alternative or complement to traditional transmission infrastructure assets.
Services to Support Transmission Infrastructure are composed of three key systems:
Transmission Investment Deferral: deferring transmission infrastructure upgrades and solving transmission congestion issues by installing energy storage systems instead of new lines.
Angular stability: use of energy storage to charge and discharge high levels of energy in short periods when an accident occurs, overall improving angular stability of the system.
Transmission Support: use of energy storage to improve the performance of the transmission system by compensating for electrical anomalies and disturbances such as voltage sag, unstable voltage, and subsynchronous resonance.
EASE has prepared a position paper on guiding principles to develop an AFN methodology which aims to ensure that energy storage technologies are properly taken into account in the methodology.
EASE and LCP-Delta are pleased to announce the publication of the eighth edition of the European Market Monitor on Energy Storage (EMMES). The Market Monitor is an interactive database that tracks over 3,000 energy storage projects. With information on assets in over 29 countries, it is the largest and most detailed archive of European storage. The database is accompanied by a report which outlines key EU legislation, drivers and barriers for 14 core countries, future projects and forecasts to 2030.
EASE has compiled analyses of measures for energy storage in the draft updated NECPs to point out their strengths and weaknesses, based upon the Commission’s Recommendations for Energy Storage.
