Flow batteries are beginning to appear in microgrids, providing cost savings, long-duration storage and a U.S. supply chain. Two national laboratories are studying how CMBlu Energy’s flow batteries could be best utilized as efforts to deploy more batteries ramp up.
During the recent Microgrid Knowledge (MGK) Conference, experts from across the distributed energy spectrum pinpointed the need to be adaptable, valuable and indispensable. Respect the proactive value that microgrids have to offer.
Located at the Port of Long Beach in California, the facility is the automaker’s first port vehicle processing and distribution center to be fully powered by on-site renewable energy, thanks to FuelCell Energy’s Tri-gen technology.
Global Connective Center LLC granted BWR Innovations the two-year subcontract as part of an agreement with the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). The Hydrogen Fuel Cell Microgrid (H2MG) project is a research, development, testing and evaluation effort to demonstrate feasibility and performance.
Theories abound around what can be done to reduce interconnection queue wait times, which have more than doubled since 2008. But the Department of Energy has a plan that includes 35 different solutions it says will solve the interconnection backlog and meet the growing demand for renewable energy resources.
