The project will include the installation of a battery energy sto rage system\, solar panels and microgrid controls.\n\nThe microgrid will p rovide backup power storage for the community center during emergency even ts\, such as a windstorm or unplanned power outage. When the electric grid is down\, the microgrid will generate and provide power to the community center to keep the center's services and communications operational.\n\nA $1.5 million grant from the state of Washington will provide a portion of the funds for the project. The City of Seattle is partnering with the Univ ersity of Washington to perform analytics on the microgrid's community and utility benefits.\n\nHow will the project operate?\nDuring normal operati ons\, the solar panels will charge the batteries. When the solar panels ar e not generating\, the batteries can back up the delivery of electricity f rom City Light's distribution grid. The microgrid will provide backup powe r storage for the community center during unplanned outages such as a wind storm.\n\nWhat's Happening Now?\n\nProject Update (April 2021): Crews are installing a new fence for the battery system. They will continue to insta ll new wires and equipment to build out the microgrid. They are scheduled to complete construction in the 2nd quarter of 2021.\n\n[Excavator at Mill er Community Center]\nCrews use an excavator to establish the foundation f or the new microgrid equipment.\n\n[Construction Crews at Miller Community Center]\nConstruction crews assist with the microgrid installation at Mil ler Community Center.\n\n[Batter Energy Storage System at Miller Community Center]\nCrews install the battery that will be used for the new microgri d system.\n\n[Solar Panels at Miller Community Center]\nSolar panels were installed on the community center's roof.\n\nSpeaker(s): Bianca Smith (SCL )\, \n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/271436 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/271436 ORGANIZER:karen.studarus@pnnl.gov SEQUENCE:4 SUMMARY:Seattle City Light Miller Community Center - Solar Microgrid Presen tation URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/271436 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><h2><span style="font-size: 12pt\;">Join us f or a presentation by Seattle City Light's Bianca Smith on Miller Community Center Solar Microgrid Presentation</span></h2>\n<p>Seattle City Light is partnering with Seattle Parks and Recreation to implement a microgrid pro ject at Miller Community Center\, located in the Capitol Hill neighborhood .
