The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to Fraunhofer USA Inc.’s Center for Sustainable Energy Systems to develop and demonstrate a scalable, high-performance solution to simplifying the integration of photovoltaic (PV) systems into the power distribution system.
Activities associated with the proposed project would include design, development, deployment and demonstration of a fully functional, integrated, PV battery energy storage and facility load management system, SunDial, in a National Grid research area in Massachusetts. Project management, design and development of system models and oversight of deployment and demonstration would be completed by Fraunhofer USA from their offices in Boston, MA. Battery system design and oversight of deployment and demonstration would be undertaken by National Grid from their facility in Waltham, MA. Development of the FLAME platform (load management), programming of site servers and oversight of deployment and demonstration would be completed by EnerNOC, Inc. from their offices in Boston, MA. Deployment of the battery system and controls and the building energy management site servers and field testing would be undertaken by National Grid in Shirley, MA.
