Abstract :
A dispatchable, renewable resource of combined storage and utility sized PV has been commissioned as part of Public Service of New Mexico´s Smart Grid Demonstration Project. The project consists of two banks of batteries, one for voltage smoothing and the other for peak shifting and relies on unique algorithms and communication infrastructure. This paper describes the experiment, the algorithms used, and the communications infrastructure.
