- Overview Why? Types of storage ACEP flow battery experiences
Energy storage in Alaska
- Slide 3
- Why Storage and Why Now? Balance supply and demand Load
leveling Load shifting UPS Uninterruptible Power Supply Potential
to save fuel and $$$

- Types of Storage Potential Elevation difference Electrochemical
Super capacitors Chemical Magnetic Mechanical Kinetic Thermal
- Slide 5
- Fossil Fuel & Biomass
- Slide 6
- Hydrogen Yes, hydrogen can be used for energy storage In most
applications there are better alternatives
- Slide 7
- Compressed Gas
- Slide 8
- Hydroelectric Reservoir storage Energy = mgh Pumped
hydroelectric ~70% efficient Needs the right circumstances
Elevation change
- Slide 9
- Super Capacitors Battery-like characteristics Extremely rapid
charge and discharge Virtually no degradation High self-discharge
rate Not suitable for long term storage
- Slide 10
- Flywheels Kinetic energy storage Energy=1/2 mv 2 Changed from
heavy rotors to fast rotors Turn around efficiency up to 85%
Short-term storage Containment?

- Storage in Alaska Installations throughout the state Various
levels of success Or lack thereof A few examples:
- Slide 18
- Usibelli Coal Mine Electrically-operated dragline 6 MW draw, 2
MW regeneration, 60 second cycle time Caused grid stability
problems 40 ton, 1000 rpm Flywheel was installed and reduced the
fluctuations from 8MW to.5 MW Installed in 1982 and still in
use
- Slide 19
- Chena Hot Springs Batteries 1 MW Battery module intended as a
UPS Lead acid chemistry Not suitable for load leveling Never
commissioned
- Slide 20
- Premium Power Battery 500 kW, 3.4 MWhr Delivered to Kotzebue in
October 2011 Zinc-Bromide chemistry Intended to provide storage
during times of excess wind. Never commissioned Being returned to
the manufacturer
- Slide 21
- Wales Wind-diesel hybrid system Battery and thermal storage
enabled diesel-off operation System proved it could work For a
variety of reasons, the system is no longer used and Wales is once
again 100% diesel
- Slide 22
- Golden Valley BESS Largest battery in the world Nickel-Cadmium
chemistry 27 MW 6.25 MWh capacity Electrical Energy equivalent to
~400 gallons of fuel It works
