This project will install a 100 kW PV system coupled with a 150 kW / 150 kWh Battery Storage System (BESS) utilizing Axion Power Batteries on the roof of LaGuardia Community College (LGCC) in Queens, NY.
This project will install a 100 kW PV system coupled with a 150 kW/ 150 kWh Battery Storage System (BESS) utilizing Axion Power Batteries on the roof of LaGuardia Community College (LGCC) in Queens, NY. The storage system will provide the firming and dispatch capabilities for facility peak demand. The PV/ESS system will be modeled using “PV Planner” software developed by the University of Delaware with support from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) for the purpose of analyzing dispatchable peak-shaving PV. The technical and economic performance will be monitored and analyzed for 18 months. Specific project objectives are to:
- Demonstrate EES for firming electrical capacity of renewable energy;
- Demonstrate Dispatchable PV for managing demand charges;
- Evaluate grid reliability improvement through the commercialization and widespread deployment of dispatchable peak shaving PV;
- Evaluate if dispatchable peak-shaving PV technology can be used to defer the need for a reverse power relay to interconnect with network electricity grids.
