Summary

The Pacific Northwest is experiencing more serve weather events, such as windstorms, wildfire risk and extreme temperatures. This creates growing challenges for reliability and resiliency of the electric grid. Puget Sound Energy a Distribution System Operator (DSO) is also held to regulations within the Clean Energy Transformation Act (CETA). While some may see this as a conflict with the overall resiliency of the grid one must look at the ability to value stack

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) to not only meet CETA but improve resiliency, which is also under scrutiny from both customers and regulators. This paper will evaluate the improvement to resiliency that BESS can provide to the PSE system, utilizing technology such as Advanced Distribution Systems (ADMS), Distributed Energy Resource Management

Systems (DERMS), Fault Location, Isolation, and Service Restoration (FLISR) and Distributed

Energy Resources (DER) can provide to the grid. With the goal of ultimately providing improve resiliency, reliability, and meeting CETA with minimal additional investments by value stacking the above technologies and improving their hosting capacity map decisions.
