sonnen batteries will be used in Stanford research project
- Residential battery maker sonnen has actually established a research partnership with Stanford University's Sustainable Systems Lab (S3L) within the Department of Civil as well as Environmental Engineering to deploy sonnen's intelligent power storage space hardware and tons monitoring software application in 15 Fremont, California-area solar-powered residences and also in a commercial farming center in El Nido, California.
The implementation and continued operation of these projects using the sonnen batteries is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) Network Optimized Distributed Energy Systems (NODES) program.
sonnen's assistance of the study cooperation includes considerable setup and also engineering help to correctly integrate its battery options with the intelligent load controllers and power monitoring algorithms developed in the Powernet Project. The objectives of the research study cooperation are to provide real-world information, area experiments and also evaluation to educate the future advancement of the Powernet Technology platform and the compatible standardization specifications required to support the enhancing fostering of clean energy innovation.
" We're proud to work on this research study cooperation with Stanford University's Sustainable Systems Lab on battery plus solar applications in the Northern California area, specifically as residents and businesses power through an additional wildfire period as well as the unpredictability of 2020," said Blake Richetta, chairman and CEO of sonnen. "Every project for sonnen is concentrated on advancing our mission to develop a clean, dependable, scalable, and economical energy future for all."
ARPA-E approximates that making use of the NODES approach to incorporate flexible lots and also DERs into the grid in the United States could replace 4.5 GW of rotating reserves, representing generation capability on stand-by in case of interruptions and unanticipated intermittency and a value of $3.3 billion each year to neighborhood utilities in the United States.
