Control Room in Washington Clean Energy Testbeds
Postdoc Chanaka Keerthisinghe works with Snohomish PUD on the design and assessment of a solar + storage microgrid partly funded by the Washington State Clean Energy Fund. This microgrid consists of a 500kW solar array and a 1000kW, 1000kWh Lithium-ion battery. It will also involve a demonstration of vehicle-to-grid (V2G) charging station. For more details on this microgrid, see the project website.
