Description
ABB announced it has received an order to deliver two
PowerStore units as part of a microgrids solution to stabilize
the power grid and increase renewable energy on Kodiak
Island in Alaska.
ABB’s Microgrids Business in Raleigh, NC, worked closely
with Kodiak Electric Association (KEA) to develop and
deliver the microgrid solution. KEA, a rural electric
cooperative which generates and distributes electrical power
in Kodiak, Alaska, uses hydro, wind, battery energy storage,
and diesel generation sets to produce power for the island.
The ABB PowerStore units will provide voltage and
frequency support for a new crane to be installed at Kodiak
Island’s port facility. They can also extend the life of the
battery systems by up to 6 years, and provide renewables
integration by helping to manage the intermittencies from a
9 MW wind farm on the island. Longer battery life will
improve sustainability of KEA’s power system.
