Dipatimenti ya Zamagetsi ku US yagwiritsa ntchito ndalama zokwana $325 miliyoni pothandizira mapulojekiti 15 osungira mphamvu

Malinga ndi Associated Press, Dipatimenti ya Mphamvu ku US yalengeza ndalama zokwana $325 miliyoni popanga mabatire atsopano kuti asinthe mphamvu ya dzuwa ndi mphepo kukhala mphamvu yokhazikika ya maola 24. Ndalamazi zidzagawidwa ku mapulojekiti 15 m'maboma 17 ndi fuko la Amwenye Achimereka ku Minnesota.

Mabatire akugwiritsidwa ntchito kwambiri kusungira mphamvu zongowonjezwdwanso kuti azigwiritsidwa ntchito mtsogolo dzuwa kapena mphepo ikapanda kuwala. Bungwe la DOE linati mapulojekitiwa ateteza madera ambiri ku magetsi osowa magetsi ndikupangitsa magetsi kukhala odalirika komanso otsika mtengo.

Ndalama zatsopanozi ndi zosungira mphamvu "kwa nthawi yayitali", zomwe zikutanthauza kuti zimatha kukhala nthawi yayitali kuposa maola anayi wamba a mabatire a lithiamu-ion. Kuyambira kulowa kwa dzuwa mpaka kutuluka kwa dzuwa, kapena kusunga mphamvu kwa masiku ambiri. Kusunga mabatire kwa nthawi yayitali kuli ngati "akaunti yosungira mphamvu" ya tsiku lamvula. Madera omwe akukula mwachangu mu mphamvu ya dzuwa ndi mphepo nthawi zambiri amakhala ndi chidwi kwambiri ndi kusunga mphamvu kwa nthawi yayitali. Ku United States, pali chidwi chachikulu ndi ukadaulo uwu m'malo ngati California, New York, ndi Hawaii.

Nazi zina mwa mapulojekiti omwe athandizidwa ndi Unduna wa Zamagetsi ku US'Lamulo la Zomangamanga za M'magulu Awiri la 2021:

- Pulojekiti yotsogozedwa ndi Xcel Energy mogwirizana ndi kampani yopanga mabatire ya nthawi yayitali ya Form Energy idzakhazikitsa malo awiri osungira mabatire a 10-megawatt ndi maola 100 ogwiritsidwa ntchito pamalo omwe pali magetsi a malasha otsekedwa ku Becker, Minn., ndi Pueblo, Colo.

– Pulojekiti ku California Valley Children's Hospital ku Madera, komwe kuli anthu ochepa, idzakhazikitsa makina a batri kuti iwonjezere kudalirika kwa chipatala cha odwala omwe ali ndi vuto la kuvulala kwa magetsi chifukwa cha moto, kusefukira kwa madzi ndi kutentha. Pulojekitiyi ikutsogoleredwa ndi California Energy Commission mogwirizana ndi Faraday Microgrids.

- Pulogalamu ya Second Life Smart Systems ku Georgia, California, South Carolina ndi Louisiana idzagwiritsa ntchito mabatire amagetsi omwe agwiritsidwa ntchito koma osagwiritsidwa ntchito kuti apereke chithandizo chapadera kwa akuluakulu, nyumba zotsika mtengo komanso magetsi ochaja magalimoto amagetsi.

- Pulojekiti ina yopangidwa ndi kampani yowunikira mabatire ya Rejoule idzagwiritsanso ntchito mabatire amagetsi omwe achotsedwa ntchito m'malo atatu ku Petaluma, California; Santa Fe, New Mexico; ndi malo ophunzitsira antchito ku Red Lake, pafupi ndi malire a Canada.

David Klain, mlembi wachiwiri kwa dipatimenti ya mphamvu ku US, anati mapulojekiti omwe athandizidwawa awonetsa kuti ukadaulo uwu ukhoza kugwira ntchito pamlingo waukulu, kuthandiza mabungwe opereka chithandizo chamagetsi kukonzekera kusungira mphamvu kwa nthawi yayitali, ndikuyamba kuchepetsa ndalama. Mabatire otsika mtengo angachotse chopinga chachikulu pakusintha kwa mphamvu zongowonjezwdwanso.
