The ZESS power system will be used in an on-grid configuration with Photovoltaic (PV) renewable energy generation inputs for use to provide both daytime and nighttime power to the host building’s lighting system. The ZESS POWR PECC system will control energy and power inputs, direct energy flows to and from energy storage, regulate clean power to the lighting system and when available, send excess energy to the site’s electrical distribution system.
Kevin Dennis, vice president of sales and marketing at ZBB, said: “This project is the initial 24hr photovoltaic powered system for a US government facility, that firmly places energy storage as the cornerstone for an integrated, renewable energy system that not only can shift energy outputs across the daily use and generation cycle associated with PV, but has the capabilities to send surplus power to either storage or to the grid, based on time of day or other priorities.
“Though this is only the initial demonstration system, the architecture used by SEI for this project is readily scaled up to much larger systems capable of producing, storing and managing renewable energy for entire sites.”
ZBB Energy provides clean energy storage solutions based on proprietary zinc rechargeable energy storage technology that addresses requirements in multiple markets such as alternative energy applications, electrical utilities and green residential and commercial architecture. SEI Group offers customers, such as government agencies and commercial organizations, products and services in solutions, energy technologies, and infrastructure.
