6 FAQs about [Military energy storage plus photovoltaic]
Is energy storage a viable option for utility-scale solar energy systems?
Energy storage has become an increasingly common component of utility-scale solar energy systems in the United States. Much of NREL's analysis for this market segment focuses on the grid impacts of solar-plus-storage systems, though costs and benefits are also frequently considered.
Can NREL optimize energy storage operation for utility-scale solar-plus-storage systems?
NREL researchers developed an open-source model to optimize energy storage operation for utility-scale solar-plus-storage systems in both alternating-current-coupled (left) and direct-current-coupled (right) configurations.
Should military installations use Antora energy's LDEs battery?
It yields an NPV that is more than $20 million higher than the electric-energy-only case. This allows the optimized system to use a larger solar PV and does not compromise the electric energy resiliency. This study assessed the potential value for military installations of a future commercial version of Antora Energy’s LDES battery.
Is diesel a good investment for military installations?
This may be a valuable opportunity in the future, and the costs and benefits should be considered as the markets mature. Dependence on large quantities of diesel fuel represents an important vulnerability for military installations. Many installations do not have the volume of diesel stored on base to meet a 14-day outage.
Which military branches are testing long-duration energy storage solutions?
Multiple military branches are already testing long-duration energy storage solutions. For example, a multi-megawatt Cellcube facility, (image featured at the beginning of this article), is under evaluation by the Navy & Marine Corps. Concurrently, the Air Force is examining Redflow’s megawatt-scale zinc-bromine flow battery and control system.
What is NREL battery energy storage system?
NREL differentiates between the 95%+ ‘Intermediate’ Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), which is currently available for field testing and provides a 38% round-trip efficiency, while the 100% ‘Goal’ BESS, still in the conceptual phase, is expected to provide a 48% round-trip efficiency and cut the energy storage system costs in half.
