Energy Consumption and Demand, Naval Weapons Center
Abstract
Energy storage has proven to be effective in load leveling for utilities and for making feasible the switch to inconstant energy sources such as solar and wind in applications requiring nearly constant sources of power. To date, energy storage has not been used in large measure on military bases as a technique for improving energy use efficiency. To assess the potential for energy storage at a military base, the U.S. Naval Facilities at Port Hueneme, California was selected as a candidate energy storage study site. This report is the result of the first phase of that study which has three major objectives: 1 - Determining the historical energy use patterns at the study site 2 - Evaluate specific energy storage techniques at the study site 3 - Develop a handbook that will assist personnel at other bases in evaluating energy storage applications at their location.
