KEMA Highlights Potential for Electric Utility Application of Emerging Battery Storage Technology
|
|
|
KEMA, a global energy and utility industry consulting firm, tested and validated the successful use of new large-scale battery storage technology for electric utility system applications. The battery storage system units tested were developed by the AES Corporation and its suppliers, Altairnano and Parker SSD.
The energy storage technology tested is based on lithium titanate battery cells. Two prototype 1-MW battery storage devices were installed and demonstrated at a substation owned and operated by Indianapolis Power & Light (IPL), an AES company. Based on testing performed to date, the large-scale units passed the initial demonstration and validation requirements, meeting design characteristics and performing in its anticipated applications.
