Federation of advanced energy technologies (AE, Fort Collins, Colorado, USA) was selected to become the first company to use the power of this system. Research facility with an area of 74,000 m 2 will focus on the development of clean energy technologies and test the level of interaction between them.

"National Laboratory is our national treasure such as helping businesses and innovators to promote the development of new technologies," U.S. Department of Energy, Ernest Moniz said.

"This new facility enables collaboration and stronger balance with businesses, manufacturers and researchers, to promote integration of clean energy, renewable energy sources, building an integrated safety grid, reliable. "

Supporting researchers and private sector public sector

Through ESIF, DOE aims to complete production, delivery, distribution and overcome all difficulties in the integration of clean energy technologies. DOE said that the research center to receive support from researchers in the private sector and the state in the process of evaluating the potential energy technology.

EISF will put more than 15 laboratories and test a few yards outside the system consists of a hardware circuit that allows interaction researchers and manufacturers test their products performance at maximum energy and line actual transmission.

Congress has provided $ 135 million for the construction and installation of equipment for the facility.

U.S. President Obama has supported them $ 20 million from the FY 2014 budget funds for the operation of the project.The construction will be completed in March 2013.

Experimental reversal current technology

As the first partner of ESIF, AE will test technologies for electric rotating solar battery with electric shock devices and system hardware circuit.

DOE noted that reversal technology will help provide a smarter grid, can provide two-way power flow and reduce costs.
