The final version of this paper will appear as Chapter 6 in the forthcoming MIT Energy Initiative study, The Future of Storage. Chapters referred to in this paper will be included in that study when it is published. In order to illuminate the role of energy storage in future decarbonized...

Although real-world energy supply systems are subject to stochastic failures, the impacts of proposed regulations affecting these systems have typically been evaluated using non-stochastic models. This paper develops an energy market model that explicitly allows for stochastic failures and...
