项目摘要

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（哈拉米洛）。该项目将通过展示一个包含电力系统运行限制的相应生命周期评估（LCA）框架来推进生命周期评估（LCA）领域的发展，从而可以更适当地评估新能源技术的环境影响。虽然该项目将重点关注能源存储，但该模型也可以应用于其他技术，如先进的太阳能系统、碳捕获和封存、电动汽车、先进的核技术等。对能源存储的关注也带来了更广泛的影响。尽管储能可以对电力系统产生变革性的影响，但有关储能效益的研究一直集中在单一服务上，并表明没有足够的经济激励措施来支持储能技术的此类应用的部署。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，结果可用于为市场和监管框架的发展提供信息，以保证存储提供商在所有这些方面得到适当的补偿好处。最后，该项目还将包括开发一个数据库，记录原材料提取、制造和不同储能技术寿命结束对环境的影响，可供其他研究人员使用。传播研究结果的努力也将支持该项目产生更广泛的影响。该项目将通过证明需要更好地表示电力系统的独特技术限制，为生命周期社区提供方法论贡献。它还将提供一个可用于未来分析日益复杂的电力系统的框架。该项目汲取了不同工程领域的知识：它需要工业生态和生命周期评估社区开发的方法，但它也利用了比这些社区使用的更复杂的电力系统工程方法。研究成果包括用于生命周期评估的开源电力系统模型；评估储能多用途操作的模型；储能技术和相关生命周期影响的数据库；一组强大的存储部署场景以支持决策；以及储能技术报废要求数据库。。
