1703229 (Jaramillo). This project will advance the field of life cycle assessment (LCA) by demonstrating a consequential LCA framework that incorporates the constraints of operating the power system and thus will allow for more appropriate evaluation of the environmental impacts of novel energy technologies. While this project will focus on energy storage, the model can be applied to other technologies like advanced solar systems, carbon capture and sequestration, electric vehicles, advanced nuclear technology, etc. The focus on energy storage also provides additional broader impacts. Although energy storage can have a transformative effect of the power system, the studies about the benefits of storage have been focused on single services and have suggested that there are not enough economic incentives to support deployment of such application of storage technologies. This project will include a comprehensive analysis of multi-purpose storage deployment and, by identifying the multiple benefits of such deployment strategies, the results can then be used to inform the development of market and regulatory frameworks that guarantee storage providers are properly compensated for all these benefits. Finally, this project will also include the development of a database of environmental impacts from raw material extraction, manufacturing, and end-of-life of different energy storage technologies, which will be available for other researchers to use. Efforts to disseminate the results of the research will also support the broader impacts of the project. This project will provide a methodological contribution to the life cycle community by demonstrating the need for a better representation of the unique technical constraints of the power system. It will also provide a framework that can be applied in future analyses of the increasingly complex power system. This project draws knowledge from different fields of engineering: it requires methods developed by the industrial ecology and life cycle assessment community, but it also makes use of more complex methods from power systems engineering than have been used by these communities. Research outcomes include an open source power system model for life cycle assessment; a model for evaluating multi-purpose operations of energy storage; a database of energy storage technologies and associated life cycle impacts; robust set of scenarios for storage deployment to support decision-making; and a database of end-of-life requirements for energy storage technologies. .

1703229（Jaramillo）。该项目将通过展示结合操作电力系统的约束的结果LCA框架来推动生命周期评估（LCA）的领域，从而可以更适当地评估新型能源技术的环境影响。尽管该项目将专注于储能，但该模型可以应用于其他技术，例如先进的太阳能系统，碳捕获和隔离，电动汽车，先进的核技术等。对能源存储的关注还提供了更大的更广泛的影响。尽管储能可以产生电源系统的变革性效果，但有关存储益处的研究集中在单一服务上，并建议没有足够的经济激励措施来支持部署这种存储技术的应用。该项目将包括对多用途存储部署的全面分析，并通过确定此类部署策略的多重好处，然后可以使用这些结果来告知市场和监管框架的开发，以确保存储提供商可以适当地赔偿所有这些好处。最后，该项目还将包括开发来自原材料提取，制造和不同储能技术终止的环境影响数据库，这些数据库将用于其他研究人员使用。传播研究结果的努力也将支持该项目的更广泛影响。该项目将通过证明需要更好地表示电力系统独特的技术限制，从而为生命周期社区提供方法论贡献。它还将提供一个框架，可以在对日益复杂的电力系统的将来分析中应用。该项目从不同的工程领域中汲取知识：它需要工业生态和生命周期评估社区开发的方法，但它还利用了比这些社区使用的电力系统工程更复杂的方法。研究成果包括用于生命周期评估的开源电源系统模型；一种用于评估能量存储多用途操作的模型；储能技术和相关生命周期影响的数据库；用于支持决策的存储部署方案的强大方案；以及能源储能技术终止需求的数据库。 。
