Onsite Energy Storage – Industrial, Commercial & Residential Batteries and Gas Generators
PES / IAS / LM Joint Meeting
This class provides an energy storage technology overview, develops the concepts of power output compared to energy content, examines the utility tariff conditions and tax incentives that determine financial viability of a BESS. We look at several practical use cases and the factors influencing the return on investment of those examples. After this class, students will be able to make a high level assessment of project financial viability based on the utility tariff and tax incentives. Finally, there is a brief explanation of the various battery technologies and the performance tradeoffs between different battery chemistries.
This class follows with a more detailed look at battery technology and helps the student understand how battery performance ratings are established. Balance of plant components such as HVAC, fire protection, and power inverters are discussed. Finally, several one-line diagram use cases are introduced to explain how a BESS can improve utilization of on-site distributed generation such as wind, PV, and traditional engine-generators. We examine how different electrical system topologies influence project cost, complexity, and the various sequence of operations that can be supported.
Part of our exploration of the National Electrical Code, investigates the code with a generator overview focus. The course examines ten questions that cover various topics: defining the generator and its cabling, generator sizing, start-up and transfer, transient limitations, alarming and instrumentation, signage, emergency shutdown, and output breakers.
Finally, this class will offer a presentation on designing Residential / Light Commercial (aka Resi-Comm) projects.
