| CAIR Annual Report 2009-10.pdf | New York State’s regulations that implement the federal Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) programs to control nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions are set forth at 6 NYCRR Parts 243 and 244. Funds provided through this source have been used to establish the New York Battery and Energy Storage Technology (NY-BEST) Consortium ™. This report contains an accounting of CAIR proceeds, expenditures, program metrics, and a summary of program activities and implementation regarding NY-BEST. (6/17/2010) | ||
| NY-BEST Market Analyses | NY-BEST has commissioned three competitive market analyses in grid-side energy storage, distributed generation storage, and medium/heavy-duty transportation storage. The studies will be completed in May. Each team includes university MBA and technical students as well as technical and industry advisers. As soon as they are complete, these analyses will be made available free of charge to all NY-BEST members. (4/19/2010) | ||
| NY-BEST Testing Capabilities Report |
NY-BEST and NYSERDA commissioned the New York Academy of Sciences to compile and analyze information on the energy storage testing needs and capabilities of stakeholders in New York’s research and business community. The expectation was that the data would identify one or more energy storage capabilities that NY-BEST could acquire in the near term for use by a broad cross-section of the battery and advanced energy storage community. The data collected, however, did not point toward the immediate acquisition of new capabilities. Instead, they indicated a complex and varied set of needs, some of which could be matched with existing in-state capabilities. Those that could not be matched directly were often specific and project dependent, requiring capabilities designed for the particular product being tested or to meet unique standards. These findings pointed to the key recommendation from this report: a database that NY-BEST members can use to locate available capabilities, along with a “testing facilitator” to assist companies in matching needs with capabilities and to identify unmet needs which could be targeted for procurement. This database identified as a key recommendation of this report has been created and is available to NY-BEST members at http://www.ny-best.org/members/assets.
