Is diesel a good investment for military installations?
This may be a valuable opportunity in the future, and the costs and benefits should be considered as the markets mature. Dependence on large quantities of diesel fuel represents an important vulnerability for military installations. Many installations do not have the volume of diesel stored on base to meet a 14-day outage.
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.
Is Antora energy's battery energy storage system ready for deployment?
The LDES modeled is Antora Energy’s battery energy storage system (BESS). It is currently at a technology readiness level (TRL) of 7 and not ready for full-scale deployment. To support decisions on the value of near-term demonstrations, this analysis looked at the potential value of Antora Energy’s BESS if deployed in the future.
Are battery investments aimed at meeting the Department's largest battery demand needs?
“These investments are targeted at meeting the Department’s largest battery demand needs,” says Eric Shields, Senior Battery Advisor for Industrial Base Policy, Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition & Sustainment.
