Project Summary:

Demonstrate how a 2.8MWh advanced lead acid battery along with a sophisticated control system turns a 500kW solar PV installation beginning in 2010 into a reliable, dispatchable distributed generation resource. This hybrid resource will mitigate fluctuations in voltage normally caused by intermittent sources such as PV and wind and simultaneously store more energy for later use when customer demand peaks.

Equipment:

Advanced Lead Acid and Ultra Batteries from East Penn Manufacturing
S&C SMS Power Control System
Dual Core Transformer

Targeted Benefits:

Job creation
Electricity costs reduced
Grid efficiency increased
Energy security strengthened
Next-generation utility system advancement
Greenhouse gas emissions reduced
