The company developed the system under a contract with South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD) and co-funded via California’s Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP).
The 1,054kWh / 510kW energy storage system features new lithium-iron phosphate electric vehicle (EV) battery cell packs with the potential of second life EV battery applications.
The project offers large-scale peak shaving for the CODA Energy manufacturing facility in support of the company’s existing and increasing energy needs.
The system will power EV charging stations for CODA Energy’s electric vehicle fleet and local visitors to Monrovia’s nearby businesses.
CODA Energy COO and CTO Peter Nortman said: "Our behind-the-meter active and interconnected storage systems range from a 40kWh UL listed energy storage appliance to this 1,054 kWh scaled and tailored aggregation solution.
"We provide the most innovative, reliable, and technologically advanced storage systems currently available. This system is actually comprised of two (2) networked and aggregated multi-tower systems that can operate in concert or deliver independent, specialized services."
CODA has to date installed about 3MWh of energy storage systems with manufacturing, retail, and public sector customers.
Apart from the 1,054kWh project, CODA has installed two additional multi-tower networked systems totaling another 1MW that are ready to interconnect.
A third 120kW networked, multi-tower array, which is currently undergoing validation, is expected to be delivered in early 2015.
