Honeywell's 20 MW ESS For Hecate Energy in New Mexico

• Honeywell has confirmed it will supply Hecate Energy with an Energy Storage System (ESS) for a solar park situated on the Jicarilla Apache Nation in Northern New Mexico. When completed later this year, the 50-megawatt (MW) solar ranch will certainly be capable of supplying sufficient electricity to power up to 16,000 ordinary New Mexican homes for a year. The project will help satisfy the state's decarbonization goals.

Honeywell will certainly provide a 20MW ESS combined with the Experion ® Energy Control System to form a battery-powered platform that incorporates asset monitoring, dispersed energy resource administration, supervisory control as well as analytics performance. Collectively, these capabilities will allow Hecate Energy to precisely anticipate and optimize energy expenses at the site as well as ultimately support individuals having accessibility to dependable and affordable clean energy.

Honeywell's ESS claims to allow the asset owner to use the ESS for more than one use-case application including peak shaving, back-up power generation and demand feedback programs.

Energy storage will certainly play an important role as organizations transition to eco-friendly power generation and will be important to the decarbonization of worldwide power systems. According to a recently published research study report by Stanford University, the united state power grid could get to 100% eco-friendly power penetration by 2050. This new cost competitive electricity mix would rely mostly on solar, wind and hydro advancement as well as energy storage innovation.

States in the United States remain to catch up on renewable resource, with latecomers that are well put specifically eager to choose solar+ battery solutions as costs drop to a level where aids are barely needed, when contrasted to existing sources of power.
