Transparent and open decision-making are the hallmarks of NY-BEST. The Board of Directors has adopted this conflict of interest policy for all officers, directors, committee members, employees, members of advisory committees or task forces, and individuals in a position to exercise influence over individuals of this Corporation. Compliance with this policy is intended to minimize the occurrence of real and perceived conflicts between the private interests of individuals (including their interests as employees or officers of other corporations, government agencies, academic institutions, or other entities), and their roles and responsibilities with the Corporation and to ensure that if any real, potential or apparent conflict does arise it will be resolved appropriately. All decisions and institutional behavior is governed by an overriding requirement of due care, good faith and fiduciary responsibility to the fundamental principles of this Corporation.

NY-BEST and NYSERDA commissioned the New York Academy of Sciences to compile and analyze information on the energy storage testing needs and capabilities of stakeholders in New York’s research and business community. The expectation was that the data would identify one or more energy storage capabilities that NY-BEST could acquire in the near term for use by a broad cross-section of the battery and advanced energy storage community.

The data collected, however, did not point toward the immediate acquisition of new capabilities. Instead, they indicated a complex and varied set of needs, some of which could be matched with existing in-state capabilities. Those that could not be matched directly were often specific and project dependent, requiring capabilities designed for the particular product being tested or to meet unique standards. These findings pointed to the key recommendation from this report: a database that NY-BEST members can use to locate available capabilities, along with a “testing facilitator” to assist companies in matching needs with capabilities and to identify unmet needs which could be targeted for procurement.

This database identified as a key recommendation of this report has been created and is available to NY-BEST members at http://www.ny-best.org/members/assets. Login to access the database, or request an account at http://www.ny-best.org/user/register.

This document describes a high level, technology-neutral framework for assessing potential financial benefits from and maximum market potential for electric energy storage. More specifically, it addresses electric utility-related applications, in New York, with an emphasis on New York City.

New York State technology incubators and business co-location facilities by region

Provides an overview of the current state of New York’s competitive wholesale electricity markets, assesses known risks to maintaining a reliable energy supply, and outlines steps needed to provide an efficient, environmentally sound electric system in the future.

This report recommends policy and practice changes to support collaboration between industry, higher education institutions and venture capital funding in New York State. The section on State Practices notes NYSERDA and NYSTAR as part of New York's leadership in government-led technology innovation and specifically identifies NY-BEST as a part of this leadership.

The smart grid of the future will include significant electrical storage as part of the solution to increase the grids efficiency, enhance reliability, and help reduce the environmental impact of supplying the electrical power needs of modern society.
