The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to the Hualapai Indian Tribe (Hualapai) to develop and deploy a ground mounted 993 kW solar photovoltaic (PV) array with a 750kW/1500kWh battery storage system and a data acquisition system (DAS). The solar PV array would be connected to an existing 20.8 kV micro-grid located at Grand Canyon West (GCW), on the Hualapai Reservation. The system would provide 50% of the energy currently needed to operate the microgrid under normal operating conditions. The system would also provide backup power to the diesel generators that currently supply the microgrid with power.
