we got it !!!!
34.4MW !!!!
Project Name: Children's HospitAl Resilient Grid with Energy Storage (CHARGES)Project Manager: Mike Gravely Location: Madera, CAProject Summary: During a power outage, hospitals require reliable back-up power to continue to provide essential services. This project will install a 34.4MWh behind-the-meter, zinc bromide flow battery system for the Valley Children’s Hospital, located in the underserved community of Madera, California. This long-duration energy storage (LDES) project will be a key demonstration of critical power backup of an acute care hospital in the U.S. and will provide resiliency in a region that is increasingly at-risk for significant power outages due to fires, storm surges, floods, extreme heat, and earthquakes. This project will provide a roadmap to facilitate the replacement of diesel generators with cleaner, more cost-effective resources at the hospital facility. The project team is led by the State of California through the California Energy Commission, and joined by Faraday Microgrids, a nationally recognized expert in renewable energy system microgrids, and LDES provider !!!! REDFLOW !!!! with zinc bromine flow batteries. Faraday Microgrids has been working closely with the California Energy Commission to develop and demonstrate the capabilities of renewable energy microgrids as a source of backup power in hospitals. This groundbreaking LDES project will provide significant community benefits through continuity of critical services, community power availability, and cost savings that can be redeployed for health programs.
