Session Abstract

With the transition towards the electrification of society, from high-speed rail to electric vehicles, the amplified demand on the existing grid presents a challenge of integrating new green technologies into an aging infrastructure. A solution to combat the growing grid peaks is integrating a combined Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) and Electric Vehicle (EV) charging station into the present grid. A Client in New York City partnered with CHA to design a BESS and EV Charging Project which will provide 18 EV charging stations in addition to the ability to export power back to the utility from the on-site BESS during peak conditions. This poster presentation will provide a project overview of the design phase, identifying opportunities and barriers of integration, and possibilities of implementation in other situations. By adopting a similar systematic approach, other entities can establish a model that will help lead the transition to green technologies, provide strain relief during peak loading conditions, and provide an overall reduction in carbon emissions.
