Called the 'GridStar Flow,' it's a megawatt-scale wonder.
"GridStar Flow is an innovative redox flow battery designed for large-capacity storage applications that stores power generated from renewable energy sources and exports it to electric grids during peak demand or unanticipated electricity loss," read Lockheed Martin's news release., the new system will help reduce the amount of backup fossil fuel needed by DoD facilities to maintain vital mission activities during a 14- to 30-day grid outages to achieve energy resilience.
To ensure vital operations can continue in the case of a protracted power loss, GridStar Flow is optimized to give a duration of six or more hours of power.
The Army and ERDC-CERL intend to use Lockheed Martin's first customer-sited production system as a demonstration unit. To verify that crucial missions can continue in the case of a protracted power loss, this system will be evaluated using protocols that replicate microgrid and renewable integration."Electric grids are undergoing unprecedented change.
The deployment of long-duration storage across all DoD services and installations in the future will also be guided by the knowledge learned from this pilot project. "We are committed to supporting the U.S. Army’s climate strategy to foster modernization and readiness across the force while seeking out solutions that offer a more secure, sustainable, and cleaner future," said Tom Jarvi, Lockheed Martin GridStar Flow program director."GridStar Flow is designed to meet emerging, long-duration energy storage needs and bolsters the necessary grid resilience to combat 21st-centuryLockheed Martin, ERDC-CERL, and the U.
