What are Electric
Drive Systems?
Electric
drive systems are the very "heart" of every electric vehicle
and what makes EV's "go!"
What is Battery
Energy Storage?
Battery
Energy Storage,
and Battery
Energy Storage
systems (BESS) use stored electrical power in batteries, and feed
this energy to the electric grid (building, or facility) at times when it makes
economic sense.
For a "Net
Zero Energy" building or facility, a Solar
Cogeneration,
or Solar
Trigeneration
energy system is used that stores excess solar power in the Battery
Energy Storage system during the daytime, for use when the sun goes down,
and during inclement weather.
Battery
Energy Storage
is an ideal solution for utility-scale wind farms, particularly in Texas, when
most of the renewable energy is generated at night when the power isn't
needed.
Battery
Energy Storage is
a leading "dispatchable
wind"
solution making wind power available 24 x 7.
And, Battery
Energy Storage is
an ideal demand
side management, peak
shifting or
load
leveling
solution as well as reducing emissions
According
to Sandia Labs in their report titled; "Energy
Storage for the Electricity Grid; Benefits and Market Potential Assessment Guide"
(February 2010), the market for energy storage exceeds $100 billion during the
next ten years.

What is a Bidirectional
Inverter?
To
answer the question, what is a bi-directional
inverter, you must first
understand what an inverter is. Inverters invert or convert the DC
("direct current") power that is generated from your solar energy PV
panels, into AC (alternating current) power. AC power is the kind of electrical
power that your house receives from the electric grid, which is used in your
home to power your home and its' appliances, such as computers, washing
machines, dishwasher, refrigerator, vacuum cleaner as well as any other
appliance that you may plug into your electrical outlets. Your home's
heating and air-conditioning system also runs on AC power.
The
vast majority of inverters only work "one-way" and that is DC power
(from your rooftop PV system) to AC power. Bidirectional inverters allows
owners of solar energy systems more flexibility and options.
Bidirectional inverters
not only convert DC to AC power but also from AC to DC power - this then
permits the electric grid to charge a battery energy storage system. When the
electric grid goes down, solar energy systems that have bidirectional inverters
(with a battery management
system) can "drop" the electric grid and go into "island
mode" which then keeps the home or business running as if the electric
grid were still operating. Bidirectional inverters
and battery energy storage
systems provides business owners and homeowners the added flexibility of
THEIR ability to choose when to buy power from the electric utility or to sell
their own power to the electric grid, and take advantage of time of use
pricing or the electric utility's "tiered" electric rates.
“spending
hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars every year for oil,
much of it from the Middle East, is just about the single stupidest thing that
modern society could possibly do. It’s very difficult to think of anything
more idiotic than that.”
~ R. James Woolsey, Jr., former
Director of the CIA
According to R. James Woolsey, for Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, “The basic insight is to realize that global warming, the geopolitics of oil, and warfare in the Persian Gulf are not separate problems — they are aspects of a single problem, the West’s dependence on oil."
About
us:
The
founder of the Renewable Energy Institute (REI) was first involved in Net
Zero Energy buildings and Solar
Trigeneration sm energy
system
s
in 2001 - 2002. This started with family-owned real estate
developments in Northern and Southern California. This interest was
accelerated when REI's founder was introduced to the President of a solar
company in Los Angeles and their client, the Audubon Nature Center at Deb's Park
(Los Angeles) that was planning to build a new 5,000 sf office and conference
center. Except, the new building for the Audubon Nature Center was about 1/2
mile from the end of the power lines and a very costly extension of the power
lines to their new facility forced them to consider a solar solution. When the
Audubon Nature Center's new 5,000 sf office and conference center was completed
in 2003, the facility not only featured the Solar
Trigeneration sm energy
system - they were awarded one of the first Platinum LEED Awards by the USGBC -
and the powerlines were still 1/2 mile away! To this day, 100% of the power and
energy for the Audubon Nature Center's building is supplied by the Solar
Trigeneration sm energy
system - whether at 12 noon, or 12 midnite. (The Audubon's facility also
includes a battery
energy storage system for back-up power
generated by the Rooftop
PV panels as well as a thermal energy storage
system that stores the excess hot water generated by the evacuated
tube collectors).
These
early projects led to more client inquiries and engagements with real estate
developers, architects and building owners in Southern California, Louisiana and
Texas and the advent of a growing Net
Zero Energy industry along with Solar
Cogeneration sm &
Solar
Trigeneration sm
energy systems. This culminated in a family-owned 200
(Net
Zero Energy) home
real estate development in Desert Hot Springs which has been approved but not
yet constructed.
During
this time, the REI's Founder became a volunteer and Advisor to the University of
Texas' Solar Decathlon Competition. He coordinated the donation of the same solar
thermal system used
at the Audubon Nature Center's facility in Los Angeles, for UT's entry in the
2002 Solar Decathlon Competition in Washington, D.C. UT's entry in the
Solar Decathlon Competition placed 1st in the domestic
hot water competition
that year (2002) and 4th overall, out of 20 universities that had entered.
In
2006, after Hurricane Kattrina devastated New Orleans, the REI was formed and
several of the REI's board members and a Professor from the University of Texas
School of Architecture formed a design team to enter the Brad Pitt/Global Green
Rebuild New Orleans Competition. Our entry also focused on sustainable
building solutions and materials as well as the Net
Zero Energy concepts, incorporating once again, a Solar
Trigeneration sm
energy system.
Today,
the REI "Flagship" has chartered the Renewable Energy Institute in
Florida, with discussions to open REI state chapters in Arizona, California,
Hawaii, Minnesota and Oregon.
The
REI supports greater use of Net Zero Energy systems by architects, builders,
homeowners and owners of commercial buildings. This includes
"upgrading" homes and commercial buildings to Net Zero Energy.
The REI provides Net Zero Energy; advertising, business development,
conferences, e-commerce, education, marketing, online marketing, public
relations, renewable energy, sales and strategic marketing solutions for
architects, builders, cities, colleges, HVAC contractors, Net Zero Energy
developers, real estate developers and universities.
