Seminar 58 -- Could Electric Energy Storage Systems Be the Answer for Zero Energy Buildings? PDF

This product is a zip file that contains files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker, PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3 format) as noted.

Zero energy performance targets are only attainable if renewable energy sources (RES), like photovoltaic (PV) solar or wind are used. However, sunlight and wind are intermittent, sometimes not available when needed or provide energy in excess of the immediate need. An enabling technology to achieve zero performance targets and to provide energy resiliency for buildings is electric storage. This seminar is an introduction to electric storage options, explains the current 'best' economic solutions, and then cites details on the design of a system scheduled to be constructed soon. It offers guidance for the novice as well as the seasoned professional.
