New Project: ConEdison

The SGIL signs a new agreement with ConEdison to perform a study on “Use of Battery Systems for VAR Support in Con Edison’s Distribution Network/Substation.” The SGIL will help ConEdison evaluate how BESS connected at the primary voltage level, whether connected at or outside area substations, can provide tangible VAR support without affecting battery discharging/charging cycles. The project involves extensive modeling and analysis of network and load data, and will engage multiple graduate and undergraduate research assistants.
