Energy Storage Test Planned for New York
A $23 million Battery and Energy Storage Technology Testing and Commercialization Center in Rochester, New York, will begin operations in December this year. The facility is the result of a partnership between energy consultancy firm DNV KEMA Energy & Sustainability and the New York Battery and Energy Storage Technology Consortium. Under the terms of the cooperation, DNV KEMA will pour in $16 million, and also shift its present energy storage test activities from its plant in Pennsylvania to Rochester.
NY-BEST will contribute $6.9 million from state grant funds. The main operation of the Center is to conduct a battery of tests, validation and independent certification capabilities to help speed up the market penetration of energy storage technologies.
If you want to know more about this and other topics directly from end users of energy storage technologies join us at one of these annual events: The Energy Storage World Forum (Grid Scale Applications), or The Residential Energy Storage Forum, or one of our Training Courses.
