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.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)/U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) Long-Duration Energy Storage (LDES) Joint Program is a partnership between DOE’s Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) and DOD’s Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Energy Resilience and Optimization (ODASD (ER&O)).
The energy storage systems campus will leverage and stimulate over $200 million in private capital, to accomplish three complementary objectives: optimizing current lithium ion-based battery performance, accelerating development and production of next generation batteries, and ensuring the availability of raw materials needed for these batteries.
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.
DoD’s installation energy resilience goal is maintaining electric power for all critical loads up to 14 days in the event of a grid outage (5). No backup power system has a 100% probability of providing power. Power may not be provided because of limited fuel availability, equipment failures, insufficient DER capacity, or poor solar conditions.
The Advanced Research Projects Agency–Energy (ARPA-E), though its Duration Addition to electricitY Storage (DAYS) program (2), has invested in long-duration energy storage (LDES) systems with a focus on meeting the future needs of the grid. One such technology, developed by Antora Energy (3), stores thermal energy in carbon blocks.
A Review on Energy Storage Systems and Military Applications
To deploy renewable energy, it is necessary to first have an energy storage system that can support these sources. Thus, this paper proposes a review on the energy storage application in the military sector, and how this technological advance has impacted the military routine and operations, along with some real application and their economic ...
