Abstract
This dissertation offers a quantitative study of the potential impact of a large-scale introduction of bulk energy storage technologies on a simulated electric utility grid modeled around the characteristics of the PJM Interconnection grid in the USA. In addition this dissertation provides a qualitative review and critique of a similar introduction of ancillary energy storage technologies to contemporary electricity grids. This study finds that an introduction of both types of energy storage technologies will have an especially favorably impact on anthropogenic climate change if it is accompanied by a shift away from fossil fuel powered electricity generation.
