LI-ION Technology Plays Hey role across the globe

摘要

Kauai Island Utility Co- operative (KIUC) in Hawaii has been provided with a Li-ion Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) consisting of eight Intensium Max 20M containers to stabilise the Kauai Island electrical grid. Saft's BESS will be deployed for use as part of a new 12MW solar energy park under construction in Anahola. KIUC is the only franchised provider of electric service to its consumers on the island of Kauai, the fourth largest inhabited island in Hawaii. KIUC is a stand alone, vertically integrated electric utility, and as such, provides all of the facilities, equipment and personnel required to meet the power generation, transmission and retail distribution needs of its consumers. KlUC's all time peak load is 78MW, serving approximately 35,000 meters through 13 substations from three active generating sites.
