San Diego Energy Storage Supercapacitor Production

Now, a team led by Tse Nga (Tina) Ng in collaboration with Xinyu Zhang, both professors of electrical and computer engineering at UC San Diego, has achieved the best of both worlds in a new structural supercapacitor, reported recently in Science Advances. California heavily relies on carbon-emitting fossil-fueled power resources to meet peak energy needs. Battery storage is an essential component of grid reliability and resilience as San Diego and our state transition away from fossil fuels and increasingly adopt renewables like wind and solar for cleaner air in our communities and meeting California''s clean energy goals.

What is supercapacitor energy storage?

Supercapacitor energy storage systems are safer, more reliable, and offer a lower Total Cost of Ownership than traditional battery systems. They can reduce your operating expenses by time shifting energy charging relative to energy consumption.

Will 131 MW energy storage facility be fully operational by June 2025?

This expansion project will add 100 megawatts (MW) of energy storage capacity to the existing 131 MW facility and is projected to be fully operational by June 2025. This expansion project will add 100 megawatts (MW) of energy storage capacity to the existing 131 MW facility.

How much battery storage does SDG&E have?

SDG&E's utility-owned battery storage portfolio is expected to reach nearly 480 MW of power capacity and over 1.9 GWh of energy storage by year-end, including the Westside Canal expansion and two additional projects in San Diego County currently being constructed.

How does SDG&E protect energy storage?

With safety at its core, SDG&E closely adheres to recognized energy-storage safety practices through robust safety systems, strong coordination with first responders, and regular reviews of the latest research, helping advance a safe transition to a cleaner energy future.
