This is the final project report, and the annual report for the period ended September 30, 2000 for ERIP project number 687, Electric Utility Energy Storage Device. Although this project was approved on September 30, 1997, and further extended on December 9, 1997, no official work other than some preliminary design concepts under Task 1 were undertaken prior to February 1999. Although the project was delayed in its commencement, no extension to the project period was required. There were some delays in receiving prototype parts from contractors in the first half of 2000, particularly with rotational molded electrolyte tanks. A new design was finalized, a new contractor selected and parts became available in August and September 2000. These components enabled the module design to be completed and all prototype testing to be undertaken. The company has since proceeded to incorporate the results from this program into its larger energy storage systems. The project was effectively concluded on September 30,2000. The project aim is to build a reliable and cost effective energy storage module that will serve as a building block for a multi-megawatt energy storage device.
