Distributed generation capacity solution in Niagara-on-the-Lake

Niagara-On-The-Lake Hydro

Locations

Niagara-On-The-Lake

Funding given

$118,150

Description

Niagara-On-The-Lake Hydro will install a battery to make capacity available at a specific feeder and enable greater distributed energy resource uptake, analyzing performance to confirm optimal use. The presence of the battery will allow for more customers to participate in renewable generation and net metering in the area.

Status

Battery Energy Storage System for Grid Support and Outage Mitigation

Renewable Energy Systems Canada

Location

Toronto Hydro Service territory

Funding given

$1,905,000

Description

This project will demonstrate that a single energy storage facility can operate as a smart grid asset and perform a range of services that will make the grid more efficient (reduce peak demand for power, help manage voltage on the system, make better use of renewable energy). It will also show that energy storage can help ensure reliable power supply to customers that need it the most.

Status

Project underway.

Collaborators include:

  • Toronto Hydro-Electric System Limited

Electricity Pole-Mounted Energy Storage for Improving LDC System Reliability

Ryerson University’s Centre for Urban Energy

Locations

Centre for Urban Energy Smart Grid Laboratory (Toronto) and Toronto Hydro service territory

Funding given

$609,850

Description

This project is demonstrating a world-first pole-mounted energy storage system. The solution is expected to reduce a utility’s operating costs and improved grid stability and reliability. The unit also has the ability to adjust its operations based on data from smart meters.
