Additional information
In Temporal’s Clear Creek project, the company is continuing its work to effectively integrate wind renewable generation onto the grid, neutralizing the impact of the variability of that wind on the rest of the grid. When completed, Temporal’s solution will demonstrate both storage and distribution capabilities, creating the desired steady state of power delivery. Temporal’s Clear Creek facility houses ten 500 kW flywheels in a modular deployment and provides 10 MW of range (+/-5 MW) delivering automatically dispatched response ramping. Phase 1 (reactive power validation) and Phase 2 of the project (engaging its flywheels and ensuring power quality) are complete; Phase 3 (commissioning of the plant) is scheduled for the end of 2016.
