Utility Scale Energy Storage Systems. The host for this show is Guillermo Sabatier. The guest is Hugh McDermott.
\n
\nHugh McDermott is Sr VP Business Development and Sales at ESS, INC. He tells us more about ESS and its innovative developments in energy storage as well as their Iron Flow Chemistry Technology, and shares some project examples ESS has delivered on and how this could benefit a market like Hawaii or similar islands.
\n
\nThis tech is competitive with existing utility scale energy storage systems in relation to:
\n\t\u2022 Cost
\n\t\u2022 Size or footprint
\n\t\u2022 Environmental impact
\n\t\u2022 Scalability
\n\t\u2022 Dispatchability
\n\t\u2022 Other benefits
\n
\nSince there are growing numbers of utilities also looking at energy storage as a blackstart resource, there may be an application of ESS systems for this purpose.
\n
\nFor BES system operators, next day planners and system engineers, dispatch of this resource is a topic of great interest. This leads to system operator and dispatcher training with simulation and how they can both benefit system reliability.
\n
\nFinally, this tech may be applicable to the individual prosumer or DERs.
