6 FAQs about [Scale of military energy storage field]
Can long-duration energy storage (LDEs) meet the DoD's 14-day requirement?
This report provides a quantitative techno-economic analysis of a long-duration energy storage (LDES) technology, when coupled to on-base solar photovoltaics (PV), to meet the U.S. Department of Defense’s (DoD’s) 14-day requirement to sustain critical electric loads during a power outage and significantly reduce an installation’s carbon footprint.
How much energy does the DOD use?
Energy is essential for DoD’s installations, and DoD is dependent on electricity and natural gas to power their installations. In fiscal year 2022 (20), DoD’s installations consumed more than 200,000 million Btu (MMBtu) and spent $3.96 billion to power, heat, and cool buildings.
How much electricity does a military installation use?
Typical mid-size to large active military installations’ peak electric loads range from 10 to 90 MW, and their critical electric loads range from approximately 15% to 35% of the total electric load. Figure 6 illustrates conditions seen on seven different mid-size to large military installations. Figure 6.
What is energy storage or duration?
Energy storage or duration is scalable and affordable. Because energy storage capacity or duration is solely dependent on the volume of carbon blocks, it can easily be increased without significant costs. This allows the BESS to have durations of multiple days at an affordable price. The BESS is inherently safe.
What is the energy storage systems campus?
The energy storage systems campus will leverage and stimulate over $200 million in private capital, to accomplish three complementary objectives: optimizing current lithium ion-based battery performance, accelerating development and production of next generation batteries, and ensuring the availability of raw materials needed for these batteries.
Where can I find a report on long-duration energy storage?
This report is available at no cost from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) at Marqusee, Jeffrey, Dan Olis, Xiangkun Li, and Tucker Oddleifson. 2023. Long-Duration Energy Storage: Resiliency for Military Installations. Golden, CO: National Renewable Energy Laboratory.
