Demonstrate and evaluate one Premium Power Corporation PB150, fully integrated mobile Energy Storage System (“ESS”) to:
- Demonstrate long term, commercial scale operation of a high-efficiency peak shift energy storage system, with the capability to withstand daily deep discharge cycling and maintain a 30+ year design life as opposed to today’s VRLA battery systems that have limited cycling capability and life.
- Provide capacity firming of renewable energy generation (~30kW of PV), that will be installed on the roof of the Niagara Falls State Park Maintenance Facility;
- Provide up to 150kWh of backup energy to the maintenance facility for Niagara Falls State Park;
- Reduce daily energy demand by up to 150kWh and reduce peak power demand by up to 100kW on the heavily loaded grid during peak load periods.
- Demonstrate the mobility of the ESS, which can be deployed in emergencies for backup power or to relieve congestion at critical “load pockets” in NYS.
