Zinc Air battery system is designed specifically to meet the requirements of grid-scale energy storage.
With continuous discharge capability, immediate response time, and modular construction, the system can be scaled and configured to reduce cost and maximize profitability for utilities, project developers and commercial end-users.
Utilities and end use customers can use these batteries to store excess efficient base-load generation and renewable energy produced off peak. By discharging during peak hours, the battery obviates the need for new dirty, inefficient peaking generation, and reduces carbon emissions.
Renewables such as wind and solar are intermittent, potentially introducing instability into the grid and limiting their viability as a firm, dispatchable power source. Batteries allow utilities and consumers to smooth production and time shift renewable energy. Solar electricity produced at noon can be stored and deployed as a stable power source at peak demand in the afternoon.
Batteries can be used to bring revenue to our commercial and industrial customers. They are eligible for entry into ancillary electricity markets that provide frequency regulation to the power grid.
