Our simulations in this paper did not include ECRS but from a preliminary analysis of the ECRS prices since its launch, we can conclude that ECRS can be a material source of revenues available to BESS projects in ERCOT, however, the minimum duration for these systems is required to be 2 hours t. be e.
READ MOREAs de Sisternes et al. (2016) note, "In general, while energy storage appears essential to enable decarbonization strategies dependent on very high shares of wind and solar energy, storage is not a requisite if a diverse mix of flexible, low-carbon power sources is employed, including flexible nuclear power.".
