Proposed Session Description
Bright Power designed and built a lithium ion energy storage system for a multifamily residential property that serves as the primary source of backup power in one of the first microgrid configurations of its kind. During construction, the permitting process was pioneered in partnership with FDNY, and after a year of O&M, Bright Power is excited to share our learnings with the industry.
Why is this session important?
This session is important given the incentives available for full building electrification and battery energy storage systems. Owners and developers should be aware of the life cycle implications of an energy storage system in order to make an informed decision if it is the right fit for their building
Learning Objectives
Breakdown permitting process for battery energy storage systems providing code required back up power
Discuss the complexity of controls and integrations with fire life safety systems
Analyze the applications for a fully electrified building with a battery energy storage system
Evaluate challenges associated with operations and maintenance of a battery energy storage system
