DOE global energy storage database — A platform for large scale data analytics and system performance metrics

The U.S. Department of Energy (U.S. DOE) Global Energy Storage Database (GESDB) is an openly accessible archive of electrical energy storage projects across the electric grid infrastructure and a global repository of relevant policies. The data included in the archive has been fully validated. The GESDB represents a dynamic catalogue with a continuously updated dataset. This is essentially a global industry platform for dissemination of project and performance metrics on the growing fleet of energy storage installations. Over the last four years, the database has been utilized to help shape the development of new projects, improve existing systems and to help develop policy and regulatory framework.
