6 FAQs about [Military base energy storage]

What is a military base?

The base is one of the U.S. Department of Defense's busiest installations, offering training facilities for active and reserve Marine, Army, and Navy units as well as national, state, and local agencies. It supports more than 70,000 military and civilian personnel and their families.

What is the long-duration energy storage project?

The project is the largest grant awarded under the Long-Duration Energy Storage Program, funded by Governor Gavin Newsom’s historic multi-billion-dollar commitment to combat climate change. Investing in new technologies such as long-term energy storage will help California achieve its goal of a clean energy system by 2045.

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.

Why is stationary energy storage important?

Stationary energy storage provides many value streams. It can be deployed in front of the meter in support of the grid or behind the meter to provide direct value for a customer. Both locations can contribute significantly to energy resiliency.

How much energy does the DOD use?

Energy is essential for DoD’s installations, and DoD is dependent on electricity and natural gas to power their installations. In fiscal year 2022 (20), DoD’s installations consumed more than 200,000 million Btu (MMBtu) and spent $3.96 billion to power, heat, and cool buildings.

What is energy storage or duration?

Energy storage or duration is scalable and affordable. Because energy storage capacity or duration is solely dependent on the volume of carbon blocks, it can easily be increased without significant costs. This allows the BESS to have durations of multiple days at an affordable price. The BESS is inherently safe.
