Provided mobile power for the tactical
operations center supporting land navigation courses during cadet
field training at Camp Buckner
BUFFALO,
N.Y., Aug. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Viridi
Parente, Inc. (Viridi), a leader in developing the first and only
fail-safe battery energy storage system that provides on-demand and
affordable power for use in industrial, medical, commercial,
municipal, and residential building applications, today announced
successful deployment of its state-of-the art fail-safe battery at
West Point to support the military
with safe, reliable renewable energy.
Viridi's RPS150 energy storage system (ESS) provided mobile
power for the tactical operations center supporting land navigation
courses during cadet field training (CFT) at Camp Buckner this
summer.
"We are truly grateful to West
Point and the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
Department for the opportunity to support these exciting projects,"
said Jon M. Williams, CEO of Viridi.
"The Army's commitment to innovation and sustainability inspires us
all, and we are honored to contribute to your mission of
excellence."
The ESS mobile deployed unit was connected to a diesel generator
set in a micro-grid configuration and programmed to recharge
automatically after use. The Electrical Engineering and Computer
Science Department (EECS) metered the system during the training as
a preliminary demonstration site to assess the feasibility of ESS
performance in field operations.
A second parallel project will identify how to integrate the
RPS150 ESS with the Army's TMS protocol for microgrids. This
project will be a cadet-led, yearlong capstone project focused on
integration of Battery Energy Storage Systems into Tactical
Microgrid Standards.
"We are excited to work with Viridi using cutting edge energy
storage systems to implement and evaluate laboratory research in
support of training and operations. The ESS allowed us to provide
quiet and reliable electrical power in austere locations while
reducing our fuel consumption and emissions." LTC Nicholas Barry,
Assistant Professor, USMA EECS.
The integration of energy storage systems into tactical military
operations promises a reduction in fuel consumption and
corresponding reduction in logistical support requirements. It also
enables the efficient integration and/or renewable and fuel free
electrical generators to support ever increasing energy
requirements.
