Kodiak Alaska Microgrid is catalogued as a commercial & demonstration system in North America.
Project delivery
1 publicly identified organizations. Where a recovered source named a participant without explaining its work, the role remains explicitly unspecified.
Organization
Publicly named participant; role not specified in the recovered record [1]
System evidence
Values can describe different project phases or components. Source citations are attached to each figure so discrepancies remain visible.
Controls and hardware
Manufacturer and model are shown only when a source names them. Generic descriptions are not converted into guessed product assignments.
Recovered detail
Concise system facts recovered from the historical project record. Treat these as historical unless a newer primary source confirms them.
The Kodiak microgrid is an islanded grid, meaning there is no interconnection with any outside grid. [1]
Kodiak’s 3 MW (2 MWh) gel lead-acid battery contributes to the stability of the system, and KEA recently added two 1 MW flywheel systems. [1]
The flywheel will take over some of the workload from the battery, which currently charges and discharges around 1,000 times each day. [1]
The pairing of multiple types of storage that operate on different time scales effectively matches system needs, especially when variable renewable penetration is high. [1]
