At its seventh annual conference and expo, Energy Storage North America (ESNA) last week announced the winners of its innovation and champion awards, inducting them into the organization’s hall of fame.
Based on public, online voting, the ESNA sought innovators in the fields of front-of-meter storage, behind-the-meter storage, and microgrids. Additionally, they recognized utility and policy champions that have made significant efforts to enhance energy storage. Respectively, these efforts honored work on the energy storage ecosystem, services supplied to customers and the grid, unique technology solutions, financing, or partnerships.
“The individuals and organizations we’re recognizing with this year’s ESNA Awards have made significant contributions to the growth and maturation of energy storage as a mainstream grid resource,” Janice Lin, ESNA Conference Chair, said. “Their dynamic leadership and skillful execution serve as greatly needed role models for the global clean energy transformation.”
For front-of-meter efforts, the Goderich Advanced Compressed Air Energy Storage Facility as powered by Hydrostor was named the winner. On the other side of the meter, Connected Solutions — as powered by National Grid — took home the award. Nantucket Battery Energy Storage System, as powered by National Grid, received top honors for its microgrid technology.
The champions of the day were Martin Adams, general manager and chief engineer of the Los Angeles Department of Water & Power, along with Alicia Barton, president and CEO of the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority. Adams was the utility champion, while Barton was the policy champion.
