Document Description
The Project consists of the construction and operation of the Stroud Energy Storage Project which is a lithium-ion battery energy storage facility capable of delivering up to 250 megawatts (MWs) of energy storage capacity and associated ancillary services into the California electric grid. The Project will be comprised of battery modules installed in racks housed in purpose-built outdoor Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) enclosures, associated equipment, a project substation, and a generation tie-line (gen-tie) connecting the Project to the adjacent existing Southern California Edison (SCE) Antelope Substation. Specifically, the Project consists of the following components: battery enclosures, power conversion system (PCS), medium voltage transformers, outdoor electrical equipment, project substation, power distribution center, gen-tie line, fire and thermal runway safety equipment, and operations & maintenance (O&M) office and storage enclosures. The Project is located within the California Independent Service Operator (CAISO) Big Creek/Ventura Local Capacity Resource Area and will be charged from the CAISO grid via the Project’s interconnection to the Antelope Substation. Energy stored in the Project will then be discharged into the grid when the energy is needed, providing important electrical reliability services to the local area.
The Project will be monitored and operated remotely 24 hours per day, 7 days per week from an off-site control center with no permanent on-site operations and maintenance personnel. The Project will include a small office and storage structure equipped with restroom facilities for temporary operations and maintenance (O&M) personnel use. Operating staff, typically in crews of two to four staff members, will visit the site bi-weekly and as needed for project maintenance. The site will be fully fenced and will not be open to the public. The Project includes other design features including access roads, security fencing and lighting. A drainage basin will be installed to retain stormwater on-site.
