The Secretary shall conduct a program of research, development, and demonstration of electric grid energy storage that addresses the principal challenges identified in the 2013 Department of Energy Strategic Plan for Grid Energy Storage. The program under this section shall focus on— materials, electric thermal, elec­tro­me­chan­i­cal, and electrochemical systems research; power conversion technologies research; developing— empirical and science-based industry standards to compare the storage capacity, cycle length and capabilities, and reliability of different types of electricity storage; and validation and testing techniques; other fundamental and applied research critical to widespread deployment of electricity storage; device development that builds on results from research described in paragraphs (1), (2), and (4), including combinations of power electronics, advanced optimizing controls, and energy storage as a general purpose element of the electric grid; grid-scale testing and analysis of storage devices, including test-beds and field trials; cost-benefit analyses that inform capital expenditure planning for regulators and owners and operators of components of the electric grid; electricity storage device safety and reliability, including potential failure modes, mitigation measures, and operational guidelines; standards for storage device performance, control interface, grid interconnection, and interoperability; and maintaining a public database of energy storage projects, policies, codes, standards, and regulations.
The Secretary may provide technical and financial assistance to States, Indian Tribes, or units of local government to participate in or use research, development, or demonstration of technology developed under this section. There is authorized to be appropriated to the Secretary to carry out this section $50,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2020 through 2028. Nothing in this Act or an amendment made by this Act authorizes regulatory actions that would duplicate or conflict with regulatory requirements, mandatory standards, or related processes under section 215 of the Federal Power Act ( 16 U.S.C. 824o ).
To the maximum extent practicable, in carrying out this section, the Secretary shall ensure that the use of funds to carry out this section is coordinated among different offices within the Grid Modernization Initiative of the Department and other programs conducting energy storage research.
