Electric Grid Energy Storage Solutions

Advanced energy storage technology is integral to increasing the efficiency of power grids worldwide and enabling them to become smarter, cleaner and more reliable. A123’s highly versatile megawatt-scale Grid Storage Solution (GSS) helps integrate renewable power sources such as wind and solar into the existing grid infrastructure. The GSS helps traditional power generation assets lower plant emissions, reduce maintenance and capital costs, and become more valuable by enabling generators to sell power to the grid that was previously set aside for spinning reserve and other ancillary services. The GSS also increases the utilization factor of not only renewable generation, but also the receiving transmission and distribution assets.

Grid Storage Proven in the Field
