Orange and Rockland Utilities, Inc. (O&R) is requesting proposals for two (2) separate energy storage systems to serve peak demand in the vicinity of the Town of Palm Tree, Kiryas Joel and the Village of Woodbury. Each energy storage system must be sized to supply a peak demand of 3 MW for four hours (12 MWh per system, 24 MWh in total). The energy storage systems will be initially installed at sites proposed by respondents in the Palm Tree/Woodbury area to provide temporary load relief on two out of three prospective circuits (61-3-13, 61-9-13, and 61-7-13) from the Monroe Substation until a new Substation is built. After approximately five years, the systems will need to be relocated to the new O&R Substation site. The systems must be capable of providing load reduction according to specified dispatch schedules, with the ability to operate at least 350 cycles per year (limited to one cycle per day), demonstrate a minimum round-trip efficiency of 80%, have a response rate of at least 10% of the dispatchable capacity per minute, and maintain at least 98% availability for dispatch each calendar year.
