Battery Storage
Empowering a more reliable grid with advanced battery solutions. From initial storage assessments and tailored battery integration planning through to final implementation, we ensure seamless execution and enhanced energy reliability. Let’s change the future of the grid – one battery at a time.
Advanced Battery Storage Systems
Help create a more reliable, affordable and flexible energy grid.
Maximize Land Value Near Substations
🔋 If you own land near a substation, your site may be ideal for battery storage. Battery projects typically yield 3-5x higher revenue per acre than traditional solar developments with smaller footprints.
Site Assessment and Site Selection
We identify optimal locations for utility-scale battery storage systems with a particular focus on site selection, grid capacity and demand congestion that maximize the benefits to the grid.
Battery System Engineering & Design
We customize battery storage systems to optimize grid services by selecting the ideal battery chemistry, system size and configuration.
Grid Interconnection
We secure the battery’s interconnection to the electrical grid in the most time efficient way possible.
🌎 Use Cases & Applications
Utility Substations
Battery storage systems are revolutionizing utility operations by providing grid support services and deferring costly infrastructure upgrades.
Peak Shaving
Reduce stress on transformers and transmission lines during periods of high demand, extending equipment life and avoiding costly upgrades.
Frequency Regulation
Provide instant response to grid frequency deviations, maintaining stable 60Hz operation and preventing potential cascading failures.
Renewable Energy Projects
Battery storage transforms intermittent renewable generation into dispatchable, reliable power sources that can meet grid demands 24/7.
Solar + Storage
Capture excess solar production during midday peaks and dispatch during evening demand peaks, creating a more valuable and grid-friendly resource.
Wind + Storage
Buffer wind production variability and store energy during high-wind/low-demand periods, delivering consistent output that grid operators can depend on.
Commercial & Industrial Applications
Battery storage provides businesses with energy cost control, resilience against outages, and support for sustainability goals.
Demand Charge Management
Reduce monthly demand charges by up to 30% by using stored energy during peak demand periods, avoiding costly spikes in usage.
Manufacturing Resilience
Protect sensitive manufacturing processes from power quality issues and outages that can cause significant production losses and equipment damage.
Microgrids
Battery storage forms the backbone of modern microgrids, enabling energy independence, resilience, and optimization of diverse generation sources.
Island & Remote Communities
Replace expensive diesel generation with renewable + storage microgrids, reducing costs and emissions while improving reliability.
Critical Facilities
Ensure continuous operation of hospitals, emergency services, and data centers with clean, quiet, and reliable backup power systems.
Being a Good Battery Farm Neighbor
We understand that your neighbors may have questions or concerns about your new battery farm installation. Here's how our battery energy solutions are designed with neighborhood harmony in mind.
Odorless and Dark
Battery storage systems are completely odorless. The battery cells are hermetically sealed within weatherproof enclosures that prevent any emissions or leakage.
There will be no permanent lighting installed at the battery farm site, ensuring zero light pollution and preserving the natural night environment.
All site and access lighting is temporary and used only during maintenance activities, and is fully shielded to prevent any light spill beyond the operational area.
Improved Electrical Grid
Battery storage systems improve the electrical grid by providing electricity when it’s needed most. They charge when demand is low, and discharge when demand is high, helping to balance the grid and reduce peak pricing.
By positioning battery storage near key substations, costly grid upgrades like new transmission lines can be deferred or avoided altogether.
Having electricity on demand improves grid flexibility during periods of stress like extreme weather events.
Quiet Operation
Battery units are completely silent with no moving parts. The only components that produce sound are the cooling system and the inverters, which convert stored DC electricity into usable AC power.
Modern battery systems operate at noise levels similar to a quiet refrigerator or soft conversation, and are typically inaudible beyond the substation fence line.
Battery systems are installed immediately adjacent to substations and away from densely populated areas to minimize any potential noise impact on neighboring properties.
Appropriately Located
Battery storage systems are located very near or immediately adjacent to utility substations. Their proximity helps to minimize the amount of required electrical infrastructure.
Battery storage systems are kept out of sight by minimizing road frontage and installing vegetative buffers.
The interconnection of projects in key areas of congestion on the electrical grid means the investment goes where the need is greatest.
Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about battery energy storage, with links to research and resources that provide in-depth information on key topics.
Battery storage systems should be located near or immediately adjacent to utility substations in areas of grid congestion. By adding additional, flexible capacity to the electrical grid, we are able to defer or avoid the addition of other forms of generation which are more land intensive.
The solar or battery project pays all personal and real property taxes associated with the project. You as the landowner will have fewer taxes to pay than today, while at the same time the community benefits from a higher tax base, helping to provide community services.
Batteries typically reach end of useful life after 10–15 years of operation. At that point, we follow a multi-step process to ensure safe, responsible handling and maximum resource recovery:
- Assessment & Repurposing: First, cells are evaluated for residual capacity. Modules with remaining useful capacity can be repurposed for lower-demand applications (e.g., backup power or off-grid use).
- Dismantling & Sorting: Systems are disassembled; components such as busbars, enclosures, and electronics are separated for reuse or recycling.
- Recycling: Valuable materials (lithium, cobalt, nickel, copper, aluminum) are recovered through mechanical and hydrometallurgical processes at certified facilities.
- Safe Disposal: Any non-recyclable materials and packaging are disposed of according to federal and state hazardous waste regulations.
- Reporting & Transparency: Full chain-of-custody documentation is provided, detailing material flows and recovery rates.
This comprehensive approach minimizes environmental impact, supports a circular battery economy, and ensures compliance with all regulatory requirements.
With the increasing frequency of extreme weather events, the resilience of battery energy systems is a key consideration. Modern battery installations are engineered to withstand harsh weather conditions, including high winds, flooding, extreme heat, and cold temperatures.
According to the American Clean Power Association's research on extreme weather performance:
- Battery systems are housed in weatherproof enclosures rated for extreme conditions
- Installation designs accommodate wind speeds of 140+ mph (exceeding most hurricane categories)
- Advanced thermal management systems maintain optimal battery temperatures even in extreme heat or cold
- Battery installations can be elevated above flood levels in areas prone to flooding
- Battery systems can provide backup power during grid outages, supporting critical infrastructure
The study also documents real-world performance of battery installations during extreme weather events, including hurricanes in Florida and Texas, showing remarkable resilience even in the most challenging conditions.
