This first-of-its-kind system will push power back to the base microgrid when needed to meet installation demand or improve overall power quality. Thus, it is not a “clean sheet” approach to creating microgrids but one that, instead, mimics what the DOD and private industry could do as a lowest cost approach.
The battery cells produced through this project can be utilized by “behind-the-meter” or industrial locations, as well as “front-of-the-meter” locations such as large solar and wind renewable power generation sites. Battery storage will play a crucial role as organizations transition to cleanpower generation.
To clean up the air in areas suffering from the highest levels of tailpipe emissions, 40% of the installations will be targeted for vehicles and equipment that are based in or travel through disadvantaged communities.
This means that the operating expenses, such as the purchase of power, grid connection fees, licence costs, land lease, cleaning and maintenance costs were covered by the revenues generated at those stations. Fastned began installing stations in The Netherlands in 2015; 57 are currently in operation.
