CFB Kingston Energy Project – Canada

UCansteng provided the structural/seismic peer review of the battery equipment supports, anchor bolts, and footing for the CFB Kingston’s Peak Shaving Project being implemented with the use of a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). The goal is to reduce the electricity costs and reduce the gas emissions in around 40% before 2030.

The project includes a 3,000-kW natural gas generator, lithium-ion BESS, solar panels, and building controls, managed by Defence Construction Canada. 

Key Project Details:

• Goal: Reduce high-cost peak demand from the provincial grid.
• Components: A lithium-ion BESS, solar panels, and a 3,000-kW natural gas generator are used to supply power during high-demand periods.
• Grid Reliability: The BESS technology enhances the resiliency of the energy infrastructure on the base.
