Innovation
Energy Storage (ES)
Use chemical, mechanical or thermal processes to capture electricity or heat for use later or to manage short-duration events that support the utility grid.
Initiatives
ES-01
Install energy storage capable of storing excess energy that is properly controlled and coordinated with the utility and allows integration of more distributed energy resources.
ES-02
Install energy storage that provides grid services to Hawaiian Electric, such as operating reserves, ramp smoothing, frequency control, and voltage control.
ES-03
Develop and install smart and adaptable energy storage technologies with, but not limited to, the following characteristics:
- Flexible grid-connected and/or stand-alone
- Integrated with intelligent machine-learning algorithms for control and operation
- Multiple monitoring, control, and protection attributes
- Provides multiple ancillary services in grid-connected and islanded modes
- Able to respond during both transient and steady state conditions.
