Bloom powers LA sites for SoCalGas, Gillette Stadium for Kraft

摘要

Southern California Gas (SoCalGas) has begun powering two of its largest facilities in the Los Angeles area with Bloom Energy solid oxide fuel cells, configured as AlwaysON Microgrids. Bloom [see also page 12] has also installed Energy Servers for The Kraft Group at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. SoCalGas has selected Bloom's high-resiliency SOFC solution for its facilities in Monterey Park and Pico Rivera, a few miles east of downtown LA. The Energy Servers at these sites total 950 kW, replacing over 90% of the baseload power that would otherwise come from the grid. The Servers are configured as AlwaysON Microgrids, operating alongside the grid and independently during an outage [FCB, September 2019, p6]. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has certified Bloom Energy Servers as a Distributed Generation Technology that does not require a generation permit.
