- battery energy storage system
QUEENS, N. Y. -
Queens, located between a school and a church in Ozone Park, is a new pride and joy. Eight ordinary-
Many people are looking for containers.
It was what they contained that made Edison so excited: a row of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.
The company says this is the future of the utility industry.
These are energy storage batteries. . .
Steven Goldman, chief engineer at Con Edison's energy storage system, said this is to charge and discharge from the grid for a long time and frequently.
They're basically what you'll find on your phone, but they're much bigger. Also like cell-
Cell phone batteries can be absorbed or discharged.
The technology is not new, but this is the first time Edison has created his own battery farm.
Our goal is to store electricity for later use.
Especially in the hot summer, the use of air conditioners will put pressure on the power grid.
Jorge Tua said that this is something that different companies are working on nationwide and worldwide, and we contacted several companies outside of con Edison to measure and understand how they did it, another engineer involved in the project
After five years of trial and error, Con Edison finally put the battery storage station into use later this month.
This battery farm can power 1,000 homes for 5 hours and 15 minutes.
The joint venture is part of Brooklyn.
Queens needs management project, which aims to use non-
Traditional methods.
Normally, we have to build a new submarine.
It may cost $200 or $0. 3 billion to serve our customers.
Michael clendowski, spokesman for Con Edison, said a facility like this with battery storage would take us only about $15 million to get through the peak.
Saving Green is not the only benefit;
It is also more eco-friendly than an alternative to building a new substation.
This is battery storage that does not involve emissions.
"There is almost no noise," clendowski said . ".
Once the power station is up and running, officials say, they will have more knowledge of best practices when designing and building more battery storage stations throughout New York City.
