DNV GL is to accredit a solar power with energy storage demo project for the Hawaiian Electric Company.
The $2.4m SunShot Shines project is funded by the US Department of Energy and will use the System to Edge-of-Network Architecture and Management for Shines (Seams) to show the feasibility of managing a high proliferation of distributed energy resources across the utility’s power grid.
DNV GL solar segment director Ray Hudson said: “The Hawaiian Electric project aims to demonstrate management of and the optimal mix of solar plus energy storage with a target of maintaining a levelized cost of energy of less than 14 cents per kWh.”
Hawaiian Electric director of renewable energy planning Dora Nakafuji said: “We see DNV GL’s global expertise in certification and validation of complex distributed energy resources as providing vital insights to inform our continued growth of reliable, affordable renewable energy for our customers.”
