RLC SERVICES
Energy Storage
Our energy storage interconnection experience in the Northeast has been steadily
growing. The market for stand-alone AC-coupled systems and DC-coupled
array enhancements has grown significantly in the last year and is expected to
accelerate. We have performed conceptual design studies for projects ranging
between 1 and 10 MWhr in size. RLC has also completed detailed design and
construction support activities for several BESS systems. Furthermore, RLC can
provide our clients with a turnkey solution for their energy storage needs from
interconnection applications to testing and commissioning of the projects on a
single site or program-wide scale.
Software Applications: RLC Engineering personnel are competent and
knowledgeable users of CYME, Helioscope, PSCAD, PSSe, PVSyst, and SKM.
Experience
Jones Street
RLC served as Owner’s Engineer, and developed the conceptual design of
interconnections for New England Battery Storage for their Madison Jones
Street project. The Madison ESS is New England’s first fully integrated front-
of-the-meter energy storage facility. It is a 4.99 MW/ 10 MWh lithium-ion
system that participates in the ISO-NE wholesale energy markets, operating
reserve markets, frequency regulation market, and capacity market. Our
Engineers also provided site layout and equipment arrangement, cable
and transformer sizing, and identifying interconnection options, and
construction support.
Martha’s Vineyard
RLC performed design and engineering services for the Martha’s Vineyard
(MV) ESS project that consists of a 4.9 MW/26.1 MWh Energy Storage
System at the Oaks Bluff Service Center in Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts.
Engineering services consisted of ground grid design, cable and conduit
sizing, interconnection relay settings, switchgear specifications and
alignment, as well as controls and communication wiring. The MV ESS
is expected to operate in parallel with the existing utilities 22.8 kV
electrical distribution system but will not operate as an islanded
resource. The MV BESS output will be automatically controlled
to support system events and to limit the loading on the existing
submarine cable load levels. The facility employs Lithium Ion batteries
with a SMA inverter system.
Madison Business Park
RLC served as Owner’s Engineer, and developed the conceptual
design of interconnections for New England Battery Storage for
their Madison BTM project. Services also provided were site layout
and equipment arrangement, cable and transformer sizing, and
identifying interconnection options. RLC also provided support
during the construction process of the project.
