Extending the life of used EV batteries lessens the need for mining rare earth minerals. This presents opportunities for repurposing EV batteries as low-cost stationary storage in a second-life application. The California Energy Commission grant proposal was for “Validating the Capability of Second-life Batteries to Cost-Effectively Integrate Solar Power for Small-Medium Commercial Building Applications.” The company said the "underlying goal" of the proposal is to “deploy second-life batteries from electric vehicles (EV) for use in a microgrid application.”Īs electric vehicles (EV) reach their end-of-life, batteries often retain up to 90% of their original capacity. CleanSpark has also agreed to provide over $88,000 in matched funding.

READ: CleanSpark developing software that helps companies become more energy efficientĬleanSpark said it expects to receive around $470,000 from the funding for its microgrid design and mVSO software services and follow-on deployment of its mPulse software and controls. Investors responded, sending CleanSpark stock up nearly 46% to $4.51 in afternoon trade. ReJoule and CleanSpark will be further supported by Ford Motor Company ( NYSE:F), BigBattery and GRID Alternatives. The Utah-based company said the grant will be deployed over the next 30 months and the funds will be distributed to the multi-group partnership of clean energy companies. The Camp will especially benefit from our battery’s solar-plus-storage capabilities, which enable the microgrid to store excess solar energy for later use during times of peak electricity demand.CleanSpark Inc ( NASDAQ:CLSK), a diversified software and services company, and ReJoule, a battery diagnostics and optimization company said Thursday that they have been awarded a $2.9 million grant from the California Energy Commission. “Camp Pendleton is the Marine Corps’ largest West Coast expeditionary training facility for Marine, Army and Navy units. “We are pleased to commission our second Energy Warehouse system in a military microgrid application,” said Craig Evans, Founder and CEO of ESS Inc. The on-site generation solution includes separating the building loads so that the priority loads are on the islanded system and non-priority loads are served from the utility with each renewable asset interacting with the grid based on mode of operation. The first project to receive CleanSpark’s latest mPulse DER Energy Manager, operational intelligence is co-located with the microgrid offering resilient communications disconnected operation and increased cyber-security leveraging its hybrid-cloud configuration. With strong system modelling, innovative engineering expertise, and effective microgrid control, we believe economics and energy security should go together.”
“This is a hybrid zero-net-energy facility incorporating both off-grid and grid connected renewable generation that work together to support project economics while also providing energy security. “There have been quite a few technology achievements on this project, but what excites me the most is the functional outcome,” said Anthony Vastola, SVP of projects for CleanSpark. CleanSpark was responsible for the optimization, design, engineering, and deployment of the microgrid. A subset of the critical loads are served by CleanSpark’s advanced solar-plus-storage microgrid using a 400-kWh iron-flow battery from ESS DC-coupled with 150-kW solar PV generation located on both carport shade structures and the buildings’ roofs. The complete project receives backup power from UPS and traditional standby generators provided by other contractors. Completed by general contractor Bethel-Webcor JV, the Communications Information Systems (C.I.S.) Operations Complex includes a data center, headquarters facility, maintenance and supply warehouse, and related communications infrastructure. Microgrid company CleanSpark announced it has achieved government acceptance of its solar-plus-storage microgrid located at the Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton in California.Ĭamp Pendleton is the major West Coast base of the United States Marine Corps and is one of the largest Marine Corps bases in the United States.
