Storage Participation Model
A storage participation model defines how battery and hybrid resources participate in wholesale markets, including bidding formats, state-of-charge requirements, and settlement rules. FERC Order 841 and regional implementations formalize participation so storage can provide energy, capacity, and ancillary services on equal footing with generation.
Models specify minimum size thresholds, telemetry intervals, and bidding parameters that allow operators to manage charge and discharge schedules. They also outline how opportunity costs and charging energy are settled.
Regulators update participation models to accommodate hybrid configurations, co-located resources, and new services such as fast frequency response.
Developers examine participation rules when sizing storage duration, selecting interconnection options, and designing revenue stacking strategies.
