Presentation Description

Whether the reason is Energy Independence, National Security or Sustainability, managing peak electrical load will be critical to our society’s future growth.  The Grid in the US has essentially no energy storage on it now, so all electric loads must be met instantaneously.  This necessitates massive oversizing of the Grid’s generation and transmission capacity to meet only a few hours of the year. And with the dramatic growth of data centers, the need for more electrical capacity is accelerating. Energy Storage, on both sides of the electric meter, which can free up large amounts of peak electrical capacity, will be covered, along with their application in buildings and large federal Investment Tax Credit incentives.
