This paper discusses the application of distributed energy resources (DERs) at water resource recovery facilities (WRRF). The financial and demand management implications of different DER combinations are analyzed, and the optimal size for energy storage solutions is determined based on the goals of the WRRF. A case study of a Medium sized WRRF is used to compare different implementation strategies, and the ideal combination of DERs is determined based on various scenarios. The goal is to understand the potential of DERs for managing peak demand and resilience at WRRFs.
This paper discusses the application of distributed energy resources (DERs) at water resource recovery facilities (WRRF). The DERs considered include solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, biomass electricity generation, and energy storage systems (ESS). The financial and demand management implications of the deployment of various DER combinations are analyzed. The load profile of a single plant is studied in order to draw conclusions regarding the optimal size for energy storage solutions based on the goals of the WRRF. A case study of a Medium sized WRRF, located in a large metropolitan area, is used to compare different financial and technical implementation strategies. An ideal combination of DERs is determined based on analysis of various scenarios for nine distinct use cases. The overarching goal of this paper is to understand the potential of various combinations of DERs for managing peak demand and resilience at WRRFs. Elements in the financial models are compared to determine the combination that creates a financially viable project while providing tangible benefits in resilience and/or demand management to the WRRF.
