Abstract
New energy storage technologies offer great value to electricity industry operation but pose challenges for existing regulatory and electricity market arrangements. In this presentation Prof Sioshansi will outline possible changes to electricity market design and regulatory arrangements to facilitate energy storage, and hence assist the integration of growing penetrations of variable renewable energy integration. He will draw upon experiences from a number of US jurisdictions. In the discussion following the seminar, we will explore the potential implications of this work for the Australian NEM.
