Page 109 Javits to Install Rooftop Solar
New York, NY — The 1.4 MW solar energy project planned for the Javits Center will now include up to 2 MW of battery storage, an addition that will allow excess generation from Manhattan’s largest rooftop solar array to be stored for use during times of peak power demand. This will reduce costs and help New York State to meet its aggressive solar and energy storage targets to fight cli- mate change. The solar and storage installa-
tion will help move New York further its goal of economy-wide carbon neu- trality and advance its nation-lead- ing clean energy and jobs goals. Under governor Andrew M. Cuomo’s “Green New Deal,” the state is charged with generating 70 percent of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030. “Energy storage is vital to the
successful integration of renewable energy into the electric grid,” says Tracy McKibben, a member of the board of trustees for the New York Power Authority (NYPA). New York is on a trajectory to achieve 1,500 MW of storage by 2025, enough elec- tricity to power 1.2 million homes, and up to 3,000 MW by 2030. NYPA’s board of
trustees
approved “back-to-back” power pur- chase agreements that will make way for the construction of the com- mercial-scale solar photovoltaic and energy storage system on Javits’ green roof on Manhattan’s west side. NYPA, as lead on the project, is entering into an agreement with Siemens Industry, Inc., the project’s developer, to purchase energy from the solar photovoltaic and energy storage system, and in turn sell that energy to the Javits Center. Under the agreement, Siemens will con- struct and own the system and through the back-to-back agreement Javits will purchase the energy on a per kilowatt hour basis. The battery storage element was
added during the design phase. The addition will enhance the efficiency of the electric grid by storing extra ener-
Freeman Acquires Convention Data Services
Dallas, TX — Freeman has acquired Convention Data Services (CDS), an event registration, business intelli- gence and lead management compa- ny servicing top show organizers worldwide. The acquisition is meant to
address increased demand for seam- less and scalable global products and services for live events and experi- ences. Combined with its acquisition of Info Salons in 2018, Freeman now has the industry’s most comprehen- sive global event registration and digital services offerings. This acquisition further enables
Freeman to deliver on its intention to lead and grow the category of live experiences and innovate the medi- um of live by extending its reach
across the event life cycle. Contact: Freeman, 1600 Viceroy

Join Us for What Will be an Excellent Experience in 2020
The pursuit of excellence in electronics is year-round. But, for the six days of IPC APEX EXPO 2020 the focus of the electr
onics manufacturing industry
will be on how collectively we can elevate all aspects of our industry and the products we create. We'll learn together, explore innovative ideas and share our experiences all with an eye toward a future driven by success.
Plan now to elevate your excellence in San Diego at IPC APEX EXPO 2020.
Thank you to our IPC APEX EXPO 2019 volunteers, supporters, sponsors, exhibitors, instructors, speakers, committee leaders and committee members for an outstanding event.
gy to use during periods of high elec- tricity demand. Shifting generation to more valuable periods will result in greater savings and contribute to reduced carbon emissions. Nearly 4,000 panels will be
hosted on the rooftop and 11th Avenue sidewalk side of the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center. On the roof, the canopy-style solar arrays will be placed over existing air condi- tioning units. The project will offset more than 1.3 million pounds of car- bon emissions each year, which is equivalent to removing 262 cars from the road. “New York State is leading the
push for advanced energy storage projects that will be key in our tran- sition to a clean energy economy,” says Gil C. Quiniones, NYPA’s presi- dent and CEO. “Demonstrating the value of battery storage systems technology atop the country’s most prominent conference center will show how efficiently stored power can be utilized during emergencies and at times of high demand.” These systems will provide the
Javits Center with approximately 1,450 kW of solar PV capacity and 2,000 kW of energy storage capacity, which are expected to generate more than 1,800,000 kW hours of electrici-
ty per year. Using the 2 MW energy storage system, the Javits Center will be able to support the overall state power grid in the high-usage area of Manhattan through demand response (using the stored energy at high demand times) and other ener- gy optimizing programs. Fluence, a Siemens-affiliated company based in Arlington, Virginia, is slated to pro- vide the containerized battery stor-
age unit. Contact: New York Power
