Utility-Scale DER
Long-duration energy storage: the key to managing energy resources
Managing distributed energy resources to maximize resiliency and revenue is a must. Remote microgrids, university and campus applications or utilities balancing DERs all present ideal use cases for ESS technology.
The ESS Energy Center™ is a grid-scale, long duration battery that delivers at least eight hours of capacity and is ideally suited to help utilities.
Energy Storage Use Cases

Shift PV and wind power
Store excess renewables production when available and provide energy to when it is needed. Avoid curtailments and improve utilization of renewable assets.
Smooth renewable intermittency
Instantly react to changes in renewable output with fast, unlimited cycle capability.
Augment or replace polluting peakers
Clean up your resource mix by augmenting or replacing fossil-fuel-based peaking plants with long-duration energy storage.
Enable market participation
Use ESS systems for frequency regulation and other ancillary services. As markets evolve, storage has the potential to serve as spinning reserves and even capacity.
Defer T&D upgrades
Alleviate grid congestion by storing power during periods of oversupply and delivering when needed.
Power microgrids and support virtual power plants
Long-duration energy storage solutions boost reliability and flexibility of distributed energy resources.
