Description

TECHNOLOGY/LICENSING OPPORTUNITY

Behind-the-Meter Energy Storage (BMES) System

Advanced Peak-Shaving and Load Shaping using Power Storage with Variable Power Generation

Opportunity: Idaho National Laboratory (INL), managed and operated by Battelle Energy Alliance, LLC (BEA), is offering the opportunity to enter into a license and/or collaborative research agreement to commercialize the BMES System.

Background: Energy security and economy of scale are driving changes in electric power industries, especially critical facilities like hospitals, military bases, and service providers. Increased penetration of intermittent renewable energy sources (RESs) creates various control and operational challenges to the existing grid. Electric utility providers have been facing security and cost challenges for years. The increasing availability of behind-the-meter energy storage (BMES) systems, can serve as one of the potential solutions to address those grid issues and to optimize distributed photovoltaic (PV) generation. BMES has massive untapped potential that alone can cover a huge percentage of contemporary storage requirements, but commercially available control architectures to enable smart integration of BMES with the grid are lacking.

Description: Researchers at INL have developed an advanced control algorithm for peak shaving and load shaping in electrical power system applications which maximize the value of BMES technology and onsite generation. This algorithm can adaptively adjust based on available storage capacity, real time generation, and load. The first stage of this solution proactively determines the cost-optimal BMES configuration for reducing peak demands and demand charges and the second stage adaptively compensates intermittent generations and short load spikes that may otherwise increases the demand charges. Simulation results demonstrate that the INL approach provides a simple and effective solution for peak shaving, demand charge ...
