Redflow and Ameresco to deploy microgrid for United States Department of Defense
18 Setembro 2023 - 11:04AM
Redflow Limited (ASX: RFX), a global leader in clean energy
storage, and Ameresco, Inc. (NYSE: AMRC), a leading cleantech
integrator specializing in energy efficiency and renewable energy,
are pleased to announce that Redflow has signed a US$2.83 million
contract with the United States Department of Defense’s (DOD)
Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) to deliver a prototype microgrid
using a 1.2 to 1.4 MWh Redflow long duration energy storage (LDES)
system.
Redflow will partner with Ameresco as their
subcontracted engineering to deliver the microgrid project. The
project, which aims to extend the duration of energy storage for
existing installations, will repower a solar-powered microgrid
currently located at the Stewart Air National Guard Base in New
York state.
The repowered microgrid project scope will
integrate Redflow’s 1.2 – 1.4 MWh LDES solution, enabling the
microgrid to provide a dispatchable solar + storage resource for
peak shaving and energy resilience.
Redflow’s solution will demonstrate scalable
flow batteries at MWh scale and restore microgrid-controllable
renewables at a military industrial scale for integration for the
Air Force base, with the objective of delivering a stronger base of
power for improved returns on existing investments to enhance
resilience.
This project comes from Redflow’s selection for
participation in DIU’s Extended Duration Storage for Installations
program. The program is designed to match innovative LDES
technologies to projects that demonstrate additional technological
capability by providing energy resilience and power backup across
the DOD’s 450+ global bases.
Redflow CEO and Managing Director Tim Harris
said, “We are proud to have been selected as the energy storage
technology provider for this US Department of Defense microgrid
project.”
“We have been working with the Defense
Innovation Unit for the past year to support their energy
resilience objectives across the military’s global operations. To
be selected as the solution provider is validation that Redflow’s
LDES solutions hold the potential to deliver significant benefits
to US Department of Defense installations worldwide,” added Mr
Harris.
"This groundbreaking microgrid project at
Stewart Air National Guard Base exemplifies the deployment of
innovative technologies to deliver resilient, sustainable solutions
at US military installations,” said Nicole Bulgarino, Executive
Vice President, Ameresco. “Together with Redflow, we're energized
to witness how this microgrid will bolster base resilience and set
new standards for clean energy advancement, inspiring a green and
resilient future for US Department of Defense installations
worldwide."
The Department of Air Force aims to use the
repowered Stewart Air National Guard Base solar energy microgrid
with 1.2 – 1.4 MWh of Redflow energy storage to provide energy
resilience for critical loads on the base. The microgrid will also
provide a dispatchable solar + storage resource that is capable of
peak shaving and supports the State of New York’s clean energy
goals. If successful, the solution could be rolled out across
numerous US Department of Defense facilities and critical
infrastructure around the world.
Deployment and commissioning of this system is
planned for the second half of 2024.
