Enhancing Sustainability with Battery Storage in Wastewater
Publication: International Conference on Sustainable Infrastructure 2019: Leading Resilient Communities through the 21st Century
ABSTRACT
The Inland Empire Utilities Agency (IEUA), a wholesale water agency and regional wastewater district, has established a diverse renewable energy portfolio at its treatment plants to optimize renewable power and reduce facility energy costs. In 2015, IEUA partnered with Advanced Microgrid Solutions (AMS) to install 4 MW of battery storage and 1.5 MW of solar that will integrate with all onsite generation sources, as well as imported electricity from the utility, to optimize energy management and achieve cost savings through strategic procurement. Through complex algorithms that analyze historical facility loads and apply time-of-use pricing structures, the battery storage systems can identify savings opportunities and improve demand side management for renewable generation. The battery storage system optimizes energy cost savings under predictable power generation.
