Potentia-Viridi Battery Energy Storage System

Potentia-Viridi Battery Energy Storage System

The primary components of the BESS facility include an operations and maintenance (O&M) building, a project substation, the gen-tie line, and interconnection facilities within the PG&E owned and operated Tesla Substation. The energy storage facility would utilize modular and containerized components to operate a 400-megawatt (MW) BESS with an energy storage capacity up to 3,200 MW-hours. The project would draw electricity from the power grid to charge and store electrical energy and discharge back to the power grid when the stored energy is needed. The BESS enclosures would be prefabricated off-site and arrive at the site ready to be installed and commissioned. Each modular BESS enclosure would include battery packs on racks, a battery management system, fire protection, and ancillary power electronics within a specialized steel-framed, non-occupiable container. The BESS enclosures would approximate 10-feet high, and may have a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system for optimal performance and safety. Power for the HVAC system, lighting, and other electrical systems would be provided through separate auxiliary power connection to the on-site project substation with connection lines installed above and/or below ground.
