Renewable Energy Storage Project in Hawaii – Maximizing Energy Output « Solar Thermal Magazine

Xtreme Power, a provider of Dynamic Power Resources™ (DPRs) for utility-scale power management and energy storage, today announced a collaboration with developer Castle & Cooke, Inc. to implement a 1.125 MW system on its Lana’i Island La Ola solar farm, the largest solar photovoltaic (PV) energy farm in Hawaii.

Effectively incorporating solar power is essential to the Aloha State’s ambitious renewable energy goals as outlined in the Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative. Yet incorporating renewables onto the electric grid can be challenging due to the variability of renewable resources caused by constantly changing wind and cloud cover. Xtreme Power’s Dynamic Power Resource smoothes and controls the rate of change in renewable energy output, creating a better quality power supply that can be utilized more abundantly without adverse impact to the grid.
