Officials from Valley Electric, a Nevada co-op with a 150-MW peak summer load, first encountered ARES at a symposium in 2011, Valley Electric CEO Thomas Husted said in an interview. At the time the utility expected 3 GW of solar to come into its system, so it was very interested in energy storage. Husted was not put off by ARES'' …
Project Overview. Located on the site of a former coal-fired power plant 50 miles northeast of Las Vegas, the Reid Gardner Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is a 220 MW / 440 MWh project. The Reid Gardner BESS is one of the largest of its kind in Nevada, providing bulk energy shifting for regionally produced renewable solar energy.

ENERGY STORAGE IN RAILWAYS. Supercapacitors (SC), flywheels and Supermagnetics Energy Storage (SMES) are new components that can be used for short-duration energy storage [3],[4]. For example, the University of Texas at Austin Center for Electromechanics (UT-CEM) is currently developing an Advanced Locomotive Propulsion System (ALPS) …
Tesla confirmed that it deployed a record 2.4 GWh of energy storage in Q4. That''s up 152% year-over-year and 300 MW more than the previous quarter, which was also a massive record.
The past, present and future: A look at electrification of the UK''s railways. Standing here on the platforms of the electrified York station, breathing in a fog of diesel fumes from five diesel trains awaiting departure, it is easy to wonder what went wrong. Indeed, the East Coast main line (ECML) proved that the UK could deliver rail ...
Total energy demand for the rail sector in 2050 is around 42% more than in the Base Scenario. Yet despite increases in activity, rail transport still accounts for only 4% of total transport energy demand in 2050. In both of the scenarios the rail sector experiences strong electrification, and therefore energy diversification.
To solve the negative sequence (NS) problem and enhance the regenerative braking energy (RBE) utilisation in an electrified railway, a novel energy …
A smart grid is a digitally enabled electrical grid that gathers, distributes, and acts on information about the behavior of all participants (suppliers and consumers) to improve the efficiency, importance, reliability, economics, and sustainability of electricity services ( U.S. DOE, 2012 ).
Abstract. Despite low energy and fuel consumption levels in the rail sector, further improvements are being pursued by manufacturers and operators. Their primary …
The simulation is carried out with a time discretization of 0.01 s. The simulation model of an electric train consists of two head cars, two motor cars and one trailer car (Figure 2). A distinctive feature of motor cars is a controlled current source, with the help of which the operating modes of the electric train are set (traction, coasting ...
