Can long-duration energy storage (LDEs) meet the DoD's 14-day requirement?

This report provides a quantitative techno-economic analysis of a long-duration energy storage (LDES) technology, when coupled to on-base solar photovoltaics (PV), to meet the U.S. Department of Defense’s (DoD’s) 14-day requirement to sustain critical electric loads during a power outage and significantly reduce an installation’s carbon footprint.

How will energy storage impact resiliency?

In addition, the large energy storage expected to be required to meet DoD resiliency goals will result in a BESS that has no need to use most of its SOC while grid tied to yield economic value. A higher minimum SOC will lead to a higher survival probability at 14 days, and a lower SOC minimum will lead to

How much energy does the DOD use?

Energy is essential for DoD’s installations, and DoD is dependent on electricity and natural gas to power their installations. In fiscal year 2022 (20), DoD’s installations consumed more than 200,000 million Btu (MMBtu) and spent $3.96 billion to power, heat, and cool buildings.

How much electricity does a military installation use?
