Recirculating Air in Test Cells at Detroit Arsenal, Warren, MI

Description: The project shall reduce costs through energy savings associated with modifications to the air flow system to the test cells and installation of an energy storage system to recycle electricity generated during testing. Modifications to the air flow system includes replacing manually controlled ventilation fan’s exhaust dampers with remotely controlled pneumatic actuators and all related items for the Test Cell’s one through eight; replace existing feeder conduit and wiring; install new steam meters for Building 212. The energy storage system shall include a battery storage system to store 300kW (1,200 kW-hr) of regenerative power from test cell dynamometers including all necessary infrastructure improvements necessary to expand battery system in increments of 50kW (200 k-W-hr) in the future. The system will connect to a distribution panel board allowing for the future addition of additional battery units, a step up transformer to connect the 480 volt energy storage system to the medium voltage building distribution system. Power metering will be added to the medium voltage distribution system to provide the energy storage system with the data required to efficiently control the drawing and supplying of power to the distribution system.
