Transforming JFK’s New Terminal One: From Airport to Solar + Storage Microgrid
Airports are arguably the most mission critical facilities that touch all walks of life. Jet flight, moving airplanes simultaneously, moving and protecting people, securing large buildings, powering dozens of systems, integrating operations, and meeting deep sustainability and resilience goals is a big order. Plus, failing to operate well at one airport in real-time usually has […]
Second-Life EV Batteries: Opportunities and Challenges
Across the U.S., decarbonization is spurring mass adoption of electric vehicles and renewable generation. To deal with these new loads and new sources of intermittent generation, the U.S. energy grid will need a vast amount of grid-scale storage. Repurposing second-life (used) EV batteries as grid-scale storage solves both this problem, and the problem of EV […]
