A modern lithium-free battery energy storage project will be implemented at a think tank in Arizona.
Salt River Project (SRP), the state’s nonprofit power grid, and Germany’s CMBlu Energy, which designs and manufactures electric garage formulas, announced on Aug. 31 a pilot allocation for a long-live, five-MW, 10-hour electric garage formula. (LDES). The task, called Desert Blume, will use the CMBlu generation known as Organic SolidFlow.
This generation uses a proprietary, non-flammable aggregate of forged electrolytes and water-based electrolytes with maximum power density and performance. CMBlu said the loose lithium systems are completely recyclable and contain no rare metals. Construction of the project is expected to begin in early 2025. SRP and CMBlu expect the pilot to begin operations in December 2025.
CMBlu officials said the battery formula can cost-effectively store and deliver force for two to three times longer per cycle than classic lithium-ion technology, which targets a duration of four hours. CMBlu will build, own and operate the batteries on behalf of SRP at the Copconsistent application with Crossing Energy and Research Center in Florence, Arizona. SRP is the first U. S. electrical application. The U. S. uses CMBlu batteries at this scale.
The task is expected to purchase power for SRP consumers during the day, primarily from the region’s abundant solar resources. The formula will send force to the power grid overnight. Officials said the formula deserves to buy enough power to supply consumers with electric power for up to 10 hours.
“We are privileged to work with CMBlu and enjoy their incredibly cutting-edge technology,” said Jim Pratt, CEO of SRP, the largest electric power provider in the Phoenix area. “This resource will complement SRP’s electric formula by helping to supply purchase power over longer periods of time, i. e. periods of fluctuating peak energy demand by consumers in the valley. This will be a useful addition to the plethora of renewable resource projects and SRP garages, which typically only store energy for up to 4 hours. .
“Desert Blume is a critical task to validate Organic SolidFlow batteries at scale and promote a safe, sustainable and durable electric garage built in the United States,” said Ben Kaun, president of CMBlu Energy’s U. S. division. “We are excited to be able to partner with SRP to their immediate energy transition in white, and to have the opportunity to demonstrate our generation in the southwestern United States. Phoenix is the anchor of one of the fastest developing metropolitan spaces in the country, with abundant solar potential, making it an ideal location. environment for the next generation of LDES.
The allocation of the energy garage is part of an approved third phase of continued development at the Florence Research Center. The first phase will incorporate two flexible natural gas turbines with a total capacity of less than 100 MW, and the second phase will incorporate a complex large-scale solar generation facility capable of generating up to 55 MW of solar power.
SRP officials said the app chose CMBlu after issuing a request for proposals for long-term garage projects from electric garage companies. The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) will monitor the functionality of the pilot project. EPRI will help validate the real-world technology functionality in Arizona’s hot, dry climate.
The SRP Research Center’s pilot assignment represents the latest application of CMBlu technology. The company announced other plans earlier this year, adding the first guest deployment of its battery with Burgenland Energy in Austria. The organization also announced that it would use LDES systems for a pilot assignment. in Milwaukee with WEC Energy.
