Title XIII of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 ( 42 U.S.C. 17381 et. seq.), as amended, is amended by adding at the end the following: Not later than 180 days after the enactment of the Grid Modernization Research and Development Act of 2019, the Secretary shall establish a research, development, and demonstration program to develop cost-effective hybrid energy systems, including— development of computer modeling to design different configurations of hybrid energy systems and to optimize system operation; research on system integration needed to plan, design, build, and operate hybrid energy systems, including interconnection requirements with the electric grid; development of hybrid energy systems for various applications, including— thermal energy generation and storage for buildings and manufacturing; electricity storage coupled with energy generation; desalination; production of liquid and gaseous fuels; and production of chemicals such as ammonia and ethylene; development of testing facilities for hybrid energy systems; and research on incorporation of various technologies for hybrid energy systems, including nuclear energy, renewable energy, storage, and carbon capture, utilization, and sequestration technologies.
Not later than 1 year after the date of the enactment of the Grid Modernization Research and Development Act of 2019, the Secretary shall submit to the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of the Senate a strategic plan that identifies opportunities, challenges, and standards needed for the development and commercial application of hybrid energy systems. The strategic plan shall include— analysis of the potential benefits of development of hybrid electric systems on the electric grid; analysis of the potential contributions of hybrid energy systems to different grid architecture scenarios; research and development goals for various hybrid energy systems, including those identified in subsection (b); assessment of policy and market barriers to the adoption of hybrid energy systems; analysis of the technical and economic feasibility of adoption of different hybrid energy systems; and a 10-year roadmap to guide the program established under subsection (a).
Not less than once every 3 years for the duration of this research program, the Secretary shall submit an updated version of the strategic plan to the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of the Senate. In carrying out the research, development, demonstration, and commercial application aims of section, the Secretary shall— implement the recommendations set forth in the strategic plan in subsection (b); coordinate across all relevant program offices at the Department, including— the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy; the Office of Nuclear Energy; and the Office of Fossil Energy; leverage existing programs and resources of the Department; prioritize activities that accelerate the development of integrated electricity generation, storage, and distribution systems with net zero greenhouse gas emissions; and comply with section 8 of the Grid Modernization Research and Development Act of 2019.
The term hybrid energy system means a system composed of 2 or more co-located or jointly operated sub-systems of energy generation, energy storage, or other energy technologies. .
