Applying Utility's Advanced Grid Technologies to Improve Resiliency of a Critical Load

2021 Resilience Week, RWS 2021 - Proceedings

Vartanian, Charlie; Koplin, Clay; Kudrna, Trever; Clark, Waylon T.; Borneo, Daniel R.; Kolln, Jaime; Huang, Daisy; Tuffner, Frank; Panwar, Mayank; Stewart, Emma; Khair, Lauren

The US DOE Office of Electricity's Energy Storage Program's joint RD work with the Cordova Electric Cooperative (CEC) has deployed several advanced grid technologies that are providing benefits today to Cordova Alaska's electricity users. Advanced grid technologies deployed through DoE co-funded RD include a 1MW Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), and enhanced monitoring including Phasor Measurement Units (PMU's) to help better understand the operational impacts of the added BESS. This paper will highlight key accomplishments to-date in deploying and using advanced grid technologies, and then outline the next phase of work that will use these technologies to implement an operating scheme to reconfigure the utility's distribution system and utility resources including BESS to provide emergency back-up power to a critical load: The Cordova Community Medical Center (CCMC). This paper will include additional insights on the use of utility resources to support critical loads via case study examples by the National Rural Electric Cooperative Assoc. (NRECA).

The value proposition for energy storage at the sterling municipal light department

IEEE Power and Energy Society General Meeting

Byrne, Raymond H.; Hamilton, Sean; Borneo, Daniel R.; Olinsky-Paul, Todd; Gyuk, Imre

The Sterling Municipal Light Department (SMLD) is a progressive public power utility located 10 miles NNE of Worcester, Massachusetts in the Town of Sterling. SMLD has a long history of investment in renewable generation, with approximately 35% of generation coming from renewable sources. The goal of this report is to identify potential benefits and value streams from electrical energy storage. Benefits considered in this analysis include: energy arbitrage, frequency regulation, reduction in monthly network load, reduction in capacity payments to ISO New England, and grid resiliency.

Sandia Third-Party Witness Test of UniEnergy Technologies 1 MW / 3.2 MWh Uni.SystemTM

Schenkman, Benjamin L.; Borneo, Daniel R.; Borneo, Daniel R.

Sandia National Laboratories performs third-party witness testing for energy storage systems installed on the electric grid. Witness testing verifies that the energy storage system that is installed can meet its performance specifications through a thorough evaluation which includes testing, document review, and physical inspection. This document contains the results for the Sandia National Laboratories witness test on the UniEnergy Technologies 1 MW / 3.2 MWh vanadium flow battery known as the Uni.SystemTM.

Test Report : GS Battery, EPC power HES RESCU

Rosewater, David M.; Schenkman, Benjamin L.; Borneo, Daniel R.

The Department of Energy Office of Electricity (DOE/OE), Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) and the Base Camp Integration Lab (BCIL) partnered together to incorporate an energy storage system into a microgrid configured Forward Operating Base to reduce the fossil fuel consumption and to ultimately save lives. Energy storage vendors will be sending their systems to SNL Energy Storage Test Pad (ESTP) for functional testing and then to the BCIL for performance evaluation. The technologies that will be tested are electro-chemical energy storage systems comprising of lead acid, lithium-ion or zinc-bromide. GS Battery and EPC Power have developed an energy storage system that utilizes zinc-bromide flow batteries to save fuel on a military microgrid. This report contains the testing results and some limited analysis of performance of the GS Battery, EPC Power HES RESCU.

Project acceleration : making the leap from pilot to commercialization

Borneo, Daniel R.

Since the energy storage technology market is in a relatively emergent phase, narrowing the gap between pilot project status and commercialization is fundamental to the accelerating of this innovative market space. This session will explore regional market design factors to facilitate the storage enterprise. You will also hear about: quantifying transmission and generation efficiency enhancements; resource planning for storage; and assessing market mechanisms to accelerate storage adoption regionally.
