" Safe battery storage paired with renewable resource resources will be essential for New York to fulfill its nation-leading tidy energy targets," claimed NYPA President and also CEO Gil C. Quiniones. "NYPA is pleased to team up with Cadenza Innovation and also NYSERDA in investigating this one-of-a-kind proof-of-concept storage space project, which could be a genuine game-changer in the promotion of safety and security and also cost financial savings as we create brand-new, cleaner modern technologies to fight climate modification as well as development a risk-free, sustainable grid of the future."

The project will certainly further Governor Andrew M. Cuomo's clean power agenda, which has an energy storage space target of 3 GW on the electric grid by 2030. Under the Climate Leadership as well as Community Protection Act (CLCPA) passed last year, New York State is mandated to attain 70% renewable resource by 2030 and also 100% zero-emission electrical energy by 2040.

Now in place adhering to substantial advancement, testing as well as certification, the completely integrated, metal-enclosed and also rack-mounted 250-kWh, 50-kW battery unit from Cadenza Innovation will cut the Power Authority office's height electricity demand for approximately 5 hours while providing a cost-effective, high- efficiency power storage remedy.

The complete expense of the research and development project will be roughly $3 million. NYSERDA gave $1 million in support with Cadenza contributing most of rest. NYPA contributed roughly $50,000 along with holding the website, performing comprehensive study, and sharing its growth and also engineering expertise.

" NYSERDA is proud to sustain Cadenza's power storage space project with our Innovation program as part of our efforts to scale up solutions that will increase our shift to a 100% zero-emission electrical grid under Governor Cuomo's nation-leading tidy power goals," claimed NYSERDA Acting President as well as CEO Doreen M. Harris. "Cadenza's demo project can serve as a version for future power storage space projects and also supports New York State's extensive method to speeding up the marketplace discovering curve, driving down expenses, and speeding up the release of the highest-value power storage projects to deliver optimum benefits to New Yorkers and also the electric grid."

The technology is based upon Cadenza Innovation's UL-listed supercell battery design that significantly reduces the danger of proliferation of thermal runaway while product packaging elements to reduce expenses and also raise security, resulting in a style that boosts energy thickness and also breakthroughs the Li-ion battery sector. Under the project, NYPA, the biggest state public power organization in the country, will check out the performance of the energy storage system at reducing the height lots regular of an industrial structure. When shown, the system could be reproduced at other organizations throughout New York State and past.

" Li-ion batteries are one of the most easily available and also widely deployed modern technology to enable power storage deployments for business and commercial markets, the grid as well as other applications," claimed Cadenza Innovation Founder and also CEO Dr. Christina Lampe-Onnerud. "It's crucial that safety and security be as much of a concern as efficiency and also price and also our team has changed Li-ion batteries to provide best-in-class abilities in all three areas. By functioning very closely with NYPA and Hitachi ABB Power Grids, we're delighted to showcase that our platform delivers on what it guarantees and also is ready for wide-scale use to help drive the change to cleaner power resources."

" We are delighted to collaborate with Cadenza to implement this innovative option to assist demonstrate the safety of power products and also further support NYPA's objectives for integration of renewable energy," claimed Helena Garriga, head of Global Product Group Power & Industry Components, Hitachi ABB Power Grids. "Energy storage space remedies will be a key part of the future grid in order to successfully use renewable energy."

" Cadenza is establishing a very important innovation that will assist us to meet our objectives in New York State and around the globe," stated William Acker, executive supervisor, The New York Battery and Energy Storage Technology (NY-BEST) Consortium. "This project is consequential since it really enables what we're attempting to do with the future of power storage in the power system."
