Petco Park Baseball Stadium Retrofits an Energy Storage System to Compliment their Existing Solar System

Baker Electric, a long-time ETB Developer user, turned to Energy Toolbase for assistance to procure and commission a turnkey energy storage system. The Petco Park project was part of a four-site portfolio where Baker would deploy ESS as part of a demand response integration pilot program with the local utility company. Baker required the ESS hardware to be delivered on a predetermined schedule, with fully integrated EMS controls software, and for the ESS provider to be an established and bankable vendor. Baker procured a BYD Chess 120 kW, 2-hour unit, which was fully integrated with Energy Toolbase’s Acumen EMS™ controls software. Out-of-the-box, the BYD – ETB system could participate in a demand response program by scheduling dispatch commands through the ETB Monitor platform. Additionally, the system is configured to optimize time-of-use (TOU) arbitrage savings when the customer elects to do so.
