AHEAD OF THE PACK BEHIND THE METER The demand for energy storage is surging—behind-the-meter deployments tripled from 2.1 megawatts (MW) in 2013 to 6.4 MW in 2014, with forecasts predicting that 220 MW of energy storage will be installed in 2015 (GTM Research and Energy Storage Association, 2015). This next generation of energy management requires an ecosystem of partners with specialized experience in batteries, energy-management software, communications systems and site design and installation. Black & Veatch is a market leader in engineering and installation of energy storage systems, positioning us in front as a valuable partner behind the meter.
PRIMED FOR ENERGY STORAGE MARKET GROWTH
Our leadership in energy storage spans 30 years and
includes extensive experience in the specification, design,
and construction of behind-the-meter energy storage
systems. We have been actively involved in utility-scale
energy storage projects for over 10 years and have
relationships with most storage technology OEMs, power
conversion system vendors and system integrators.
We know the value of collaboration in emerging
technology markets and develop partnerships with
behind-the-meter energy storage leaders, as our energy
storage projects demonstrate. Black & Veatch worked
alongside:
■■ Tesla to install more than 24MW of behind-the-meter
stationary capacity at more than 20 commercial and
industrial facilities in support of their energy storage
initiative.
■■ Advanced Microgrid Solutions on behalf of Southern
California Edison to design and install 10MW of energy
storage in Orange County, California.
■■ Coda Energy to install energy storage systems at
commercial sites in California.
■■ Data centers and high-reliability facility clients to
provide energy storage systems, including microgrid
and solar photovoltaic (PV) integration.
■■ AES Energy Storage to deploy numerous utility-scale energy storage facilities worldwide.

EACH PROJECT
We are one of the most diversified contractors in the
industry and offer nationwide access to a full-suite
of engineering, procurement and construction (EPC)
services. With comprehensive experience in distributed
infrastructure, power generation, communications,
renewable energy infrastructure and energy storage
modeling, Black & Veatch can pilot all phases of energy
storage installation – from site selection and preparation
to permitting, installation design and connection. We are
experts in multiple, concurrent distributed infrastructure
programs, which affords us first-hand knowledge of
utility design requirements, standardized site designs,
site aggregation, and electrical equipment and building
primary power system interfaces. As this industry thrives,
clients need a partner who can match demand site-to-
site, state-to-state. With nearly 11,000 professionals and
locations worldwide, we can scale to any project scope,
calibrating staff and skillset to meet client rollout.
ENERGY STORAGE ADVANCED MODELING SUITE
Black & Veatch modeling and analytic capabilities provide
additional value to energy storage system planning,
deployment and operations. Black & Veatch’s modeling
suite includes our detailed performance model, SmartES;
our economic tool; regulation modeling; and transmission
and distribution planning. This suite delivers high-
resolution analysis of the entire energy storage system to
■■ Determine optimal system sizing
■■ Conduct lifecycle analysis
■■ Calculate payback time, return on investment (ROI) and cost-benefit analysis per option
■■ Calculate regulation requirements to maintain reliability
■■ Inform energy storage interconnection and ramping studies
Black & Veatch offers additional planning and operational
analytic solutions through our ASSET360™ Smart
Analytics platform, providing value throughout the
lifecycle of infrastructure-based solutions.

Our smartES model aggregates multiple energy storage
applications to find optimum energy storage solutions
that meet operational objectives: ■■ Ramp rate control
■■ Capacity firming
■■ Electrical energy time-shift
■■ Peak load shaving
■■ Frequency regulation
RENEWABLE ENERGY PLUS STORAGE SURGE
As distributed wind and solar energy continue to gain
traction in the energy market, Black & Veatch leverages
our extensive power generation and renewable energy
experience to integrate numerous energy sources
seamlessly into energy storage systems to optimize
reliable, stand-alone power. In the electric vehicle (EV)
market, Black & Veatch creates synergy between solar, EV
and energy storage to improve the economics of EV charging,
reduce grid impact, and accelerate sustainability goals.
Black & Veatch integrated three types of solar panels
into their microgrid system, which powers the innovation
pavilion of thier World Headquarters in Kansas City.
This microgrid is a living laboratory that allows them
to test performance scenarios in PV, battery storage
and microgrid technologies, and pass those insights
onto our clients for data-proven decision-making in
this emerging market. Black & Veatch is well versed in
microgrid design and integration and can lead all phases
of microgrid development, from site assessment and
project planning to design, construction and performance
testing. More than 250 Black & Veatch professionals have
experience with renewables projects, spanning virtually
all technologies (wind, solar thermal, solar PV, biomass,
hydro, geothermal, landfill gas, marine, and others).
SmartES
Our SmartES model minimizes cost of energy while meeting interconnection and load requirements, and reduces
the size of the system while maximizing its value.

Client spotlight
Advanced Microgrid Solutions – Success is in the Details. We know that the details often make or break the
success of a project. Within a Class A office complex in Orange County, California, commercial property owners
wanted to ensure that multiple large energy storage cabinets would not detract from the aesthetic appeal of their
properties. While the owners considered the installation to be a valuable component of their energy efficiency
scheme, their worries about siting the equipment could have derailed the project. Black & Veatch offered to
generate photo-simulations using our in-house staff to demonstrate the effectiveness of visual screens. Advanced
Microgrid Solutions was able to put property owner minds at ease without having to contract with an external
graphics service. From visual impact mitigation to utility coordination, our skilled attention to detail translates to
smoother installations.
