Different mechanisms are expected to be needed to meet different balancing needs in the transmission and distribution networks, depending on the characteristics they offer, such as their peak power; duration of storage; and response times. The extent of deployment and effect of storage on energy costs will depend on the composition of future electricity systems \u2013 both supply and demand \u2013 as well as the cost and availability of storage and the other balancing technologies.<br> <br> Research carried out for the Carbon Trust by Professor Goran Strbac and a team at Imperial College and published in June 2012 in a report titled \u2018Role and Value of Energy Storage Systems in the UK Low Carbon Energy Future', concluded that: \u201cenergy storage can bring benefits to several sectors in the electricity industry, including generation, transmission and distribution, while providing services to support real-time balancing of demand and supply, network congestion management and reduce the need for investment in system reinforcement\u201d. The Imperial College report estimated that in a \u201c2050 high renewables scenario, application of energy storage technologies could potentially generate total system savings of £10bn/year\u201d.<\/p><p>The Low Carbon Innovation Coordination Group, which includes the Department of Energy and Climate Change and the other major public-sector investors in low carbon technology innovation, published a Strategic Framework in February 2014 which concluded that successful innovation in electricity storage technologies could save the UK energy system about £4.6billion in total by 2050.<\/p><p> <\/p>"}

In the Strategic Framework, the LCICG concludes that successful innovation in electricity storage technologies could save the UK energy system about £4.6billion by 2050. <br> <br> DECC is providing significant innovation support for energy storage technologiesby funding 7 research and 4 large-scale demonstration energy storage projects \u2013 with a total budget of about £18m.<\/p><p>DECC also regards storage \u2013 along with demand side response (DSR) - as essential for a better functioning electricity market and both play an important role in ensuring security of supply. The Government is implementing measures to establish broader and more flexible DSR and Storage sectors as part of the Electricity Market Reform programme. Specifically, DECC will run two Capacity Market transitional auctions in 2015 and 2016, ahead of the Capacity Market's first full delivery year in 2018/19. These \u201ctransitional arrangements\u201d will help grow the demand side and sub-50MW storage industries and ensure effective competition between traditional power plants and new forms of capacity, driving down future costs for consumers. The Irish Single Electricity Market already uses a capacity mechanism so the UK Government and Northern Ireland have agreed that the Capacity Market will only apply across Great Britain with any associated costs being borne by GB customers only.<\/p><p> <\/p>"}
