PROJECTS

 

CEC / DOE Collaboration on Energy Storage: The collaboration is a partnership between the DOE ESS Program and the California Energy Commission (CEC) to demonstrate electrical energy storage as a technically viable, cost-effective, and broadly applicable option for increasing the reliability and electric energy management of the California electricity system. In response to a CEC Program Opportunity Notice, three major projects totaling $9.6M were selected. Supercapacitors, zinc-bromine batteries, and flywheels are the technologies represented. DOE, through Sandia National Laboratories, oversees the technical management of these demonstration projects, which includes data collection, analysis, and performance monitoring by EPRI-Solutions.

NYSERDA / DOE Joint Energy Storage Initiative: The initiative is a partnership between the DOE ESS Program and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) to demonstrate electrical energy storage as a technically viable, cost-effective, and broadly applicable option for increasing the reliability and electric energy management of the New York electricity system. In response to a NYSERDA Program Opportunity Notice, six projects totaling $5.6M were selected. They include three major demonstration projects that showcase flywheel, sodium-sulfur battery, and lead-acid battery technologies. DOE, through Sandia National Laboratories, oversees the technical management of these demonstration projects, which includes data collection, analysis, and performance monitoring by EnerNex at multiple sites in New York.
