The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) established the Energy Storage Integration Council (ESIC) to advance the deployment and integration of energy storage systems through open, technical collaboration. EPRI convenes and coordinates ESIC's working groups and informational sessions and publishes its documents and online resources.
- The Grid Services and Analysis Working Group (WG1) determines the requirements of energy storage with respect to grid needs and value. It develops guidelines and definitions for evaluating energy storage system value and power system impacts.
- The DER-VET Task Force aims to gather participants to review the latest DER-VET feature development, and gathers feedback and input from active users.
