Does the DoD need a microgrid energy storage system?

Jack Ryan, Program Manager for DIU. At present, the DoD is heavily dependent on mobile generators in a microgrid configuration for its tactical power systems, but has been lacking a systems-integrated energy storage solution that can enhance grid resilience, fuel efficiency, and optimize tactical generator performance.

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.

How will energy storage impact resiliency?

In addition, the large energy storage expected to be required to meet DoD resiliency goals will result in a BESS that has no need to use most of its SOC while grid tied to yield economic value. A higher minimum SOC will lead to a higher survival probability at 14 days, and a lower SOC minimum will lead to

How much electricity does a military installation use?

Typical mid-size to large active military installations’ peak electric loads range from 10 to 90 MW, and their critical electric loads range from approximately 15% to 35% of the total electric load. Figure 6 illustrates conditions seen on seven different mid-size to large military installations. Figure 6.

Should military installations use Antora energy's LDEs battery?

It yields an NPV that is more than $20 million higher than the electric-energy-only case. This allows the optimized system to use a larger solar PV and does not compromise the electric energy resiliency. This study assessed the potential value for military installations of a future commercial version of Antora Energy’s LDES battery.

What is long-duration energy storage (LDEs)?

The Advanced Research Projects Agency–Energy (ARPA-E), though its Duration Addition to electricitY Storage (DAYS) program (2), has invested in long-duration energy storage (LDES) systems with a focus on meeting the future needs of the grid. One such technology, developed by Antora Energy (3), stores thermal energy in carbon blocks.
