From innovative battery technologies to intelligent energy management systems, these solutions are transforming the way we store and distribute solar-generated electricity.
6 FAQs about [Energy storage military facility audit]
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.
Can critical energy loads be centralized on a DoD installation?
In the event that critical energy loads are centralized on a DoD installation (e.g., main feeder), an aggregate reading of critical loads can be used to determine the projected and actual (i.e., tested) requirements of the loads in island mode.
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 www.nrel.gov/publications. Marqusee, Jeffrey, Dan Olis, Xiangkun Li, and Tucker Oddleifson. 2023. Long-Duration Energy Storage: Resiliency for Military Installations. Golden, CO: National Renewable Energy Laboratory.
What is the minimum energy availability requirement for a DoD installation?
Pursuant to 10 U.S.C. § 2911(a), the DoD Components shall, by the end of fiscal year 2030, provide that 100 percent of the energy load required to maintain the critical missions of each DoD installation have a minimum level of availability of at least 99.9 percent per fiscal year, or higher availability as this memorandum provides.
Should military departments use energy savings performance contracts?
The committee commends the military departments on the use of energy savings performance contracts to improve energy resilience, decrease energy costs, and increase readiness at military installations.
Can armed services share installation energy conservation measures requirements lists?
Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment to initiate a study and submit a report to the House Committee on Armed Services by January 1, 2023, on potential methods of securely sharing installation energy conservation measures requirements lists with existing Department energy services companies.
