This review offers a discussion on how energy storage deployment advances equitable outcomes for the power system. It catalogues the four tenets of the energy justice concept-distributive, recognition, procedural, and restorative-and shows how they relate to inequities in energy affordability, availability, due process, sustainability, and responsibility.
Energy storage systems have been deployed to support grid reliability and renewable resource integration, but there is additional emerging value in considering the connections between energy storage applications and equity challenges in the power system. Through a thorough review of the energy justice and energy transitions literature, this paper offers the equity dimensions of storage project design and implementations.
Emerging energy programs and projects are utilizing energy storage in pursuit of improved equity outcomes. Future research and policy design should integrate energy justice principles to align storage penetration with desired equity outcomes.
本综述探讨储能部署如何推动电力系统实现公平结果。它梳理了能源正义概念的四个原则——分配、认可、程序和恢复性原则——并展示了它们与能源可负担性、可得性、正当程序、可持续性和责任方面的不平等现象之间的关系。
储能系统已被用于支持电网可靠性和可再生资源整合，但考虑储能应用与电力系统公平挑战之间的联系还有额外的潜在价值。通过对能源正义和能源转型文献的全面综述，本文提出了储能项目设计与实施的公平维度。
新兴的能源计划和项目正在利用储能来追求更好的公平结果。未来的研究和政策设计应纳入能源正义原则，以使储能渗透率与期望的公平结果相一致。
