Located in Chesterfield County, the Dry Bridge Battery Energy Storage System can store up to 20 MW of electricity. Earlier this year, Dominion Energy proposed more than a dozen new solar projects totaling nearly 800 MW of capacity in Virginia.
The battery is comprised of three base IQ Battery 3 storage units, has a total usable energy capacity of 10.08 kWh and 12 embedded grid-forming microinverters with 3.84 kW power rating.
Solar PV paired with battery storage (solar+storage) can provide clean and reliable power in the event of an outage. In recent years, emergency responders have found both stationary solar+storage – systems installed in a particular facility – and mobile units – solar+storage systems that can be transported to different communities on a trailer – valuable in the event of a disaster and corresponding power outage.
