REVIEW OF ECONOMIC AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS AND IDENTIFICATION OF IMPORTANT FACTORS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE FOR THE RAPID-TRANSIT BATTERY-STORAGE PROJECT. FINAL REPORT
This study is part of the Rapid-Transit Battery-Storage Project which has determined the technical and economic feasibility of using a battery storage system to reduce the peak electric demand of the New York City Transit Authority (NYCTA). This study provided support to New York State Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) in three ways, i.e., the economic and technical analyses performed by the systems manager, the Garrett Corp., were reviewed; the obstacles to the construction phase of the project were determined, including permits needed and the environmental effects of the project; and a computer simulation of part of the transit system was made to determine instantaneous substation currents. The technical and economic review was based on previous experience with transit systems and specifically the NYCTA system and in system economics and rates. Environmental effects were determined by reviewing reports on battery storage. The computer simulation was based on new schedule data from NYCTA and on data previously obtained from NYCTA.
