Rack-level circuits that bill, charge and dispatch
A 420-vessel indoor dry stack added rack-level bidirectional circuits, billing maintenance charging by the kilowatt-hour and dispatching stored packs during hurricane-season peaks.
30 minutes, no cost — pick a time after a few property questions.
Scale
420 rack positions
Service
Three-phase, rack-level branch circuits
V2G enabled
96 rack-level bidirectional circuits
The starting point
- Maintenance charging for stored electric vessels was unbillable and quietly growing.
- Rack rows had no individual circuits, so nothing could be measured or controlled.
- The facility needed backup for its stacker and fire system during storm season.
The build
Phase 1
Rack circuit retrofit
Ninety-six rack positions received individually metered branch circuits during the summer slow season.
Phase 2
Billable maintenance charging
Owners are billed per kilowatt-hour for top-offs, turning a cost center into a margin line.
Phase 3
Peak dispatch
Stored packs above their owner floor are dispatched into afternoon peaks with no impact on retrieval readiness.
Phase 4
Storm hardening
The stacker, fire pump and building controls sit on an islandable bus backed by aggregated rack capacity.

Measured outcomes
Measured against a twelve-month pre-V2G baseline at Riverbend Dry Stack.
| Metric | Before | After V2G | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maintenance charging | Absorbed cost | $38,000 billed / yr | cost center to margin |
| Facility peak demand | 735 kW | 522 kW | -29% |
| Metered rack positions | 0 of 420 | 96 of 420 | +96 circuits |
| Stacker runtime in grid loss | 0 hrs | 6 hrs | +6 hrs |
Key project metrics
- Annual value
- $71,000 billed charging plus program revenue
- Capital required
- $164,000 retrofit, 60% offset by utility incentives
- Payback
- 14 months on the facility's share
- Time to value
- 1 slow season for the 96-circuit retrofit
