Energy Storage for the Grid
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 Energy Solutions' highly versatile multi-megawatt-scale Grid Storage Solution (GSS) helps integrate renewable power sources such as wind and solar into the existing grid infrastructure by performing ramp rate management or capacity firming. 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 primary reserve or frequency control. The GSS improves the reliability of the grid by performing highly accurate fast-response frequency regulation and other ancillary services. The GSS increases the utilization factor of not only renewable generation, but also the receiving transmission and distribution assets.
