systems have been installed at University of Hawaiʻi Cancer Center and the John A. Burns School of Medicine. The demonstration project will test the storage systems’ capability to reduce peak demand charges for the university and while helping the utility maintain reliable service for all customers by providing services to control and regulate the grid.
