4 casesHawaiian Island Grid Stabilization with Solar + BESS
A 42 MWac solar photovoltaic plant paired with a 30 MW / 120 MWh lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) battery energy storage system (BESS) deployed on Maui, Hawaii, to stabilize the island’s isolated 100% renewable-target grid. The project serves as a critical inertia replacement and fast-frequency-response resource for Maui Electric’s 230-kV transmission network.
Texas ERCOT Frequency Regulation Market Participation
A 50 MW / 100 MWh lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) battery energy storage system (BESS) deployed in ERCOT’s North Central reliability region near Temple, Texas. Designed for participation in ERCOT’s Ancillary Services Market—specifically the Frequency Regulation (Regulation Down and Up) product—with real-time dispatch via an ISO-certified telemetry interface.
Alaskan Microgrid Resilience Upgrade
The Alaskan Microgrid Resilience Upgrade modernized a remote industrial microgrid serving a gold mining operation near Fairbanks, Alaska. The site operates off-grid year-round, relying on diesel generators and legacy hydropower. The project integrated a 5 MW / 12.5 MWh lithium-iron-phosphate (LiFePO₄) battery energy storage system (BESS) to reduce fuel consumption, enhance grid stability during extreme cold (-45°C winter lows), and support renewable integration.
California Utility-Scale Fire Mitigation Retrofit
Retrofit of fire mitigation systems at a 200 MW / 800 MWh lithium-ion battery energy storage system (BESS) located in the Central Valley, California. The facility operates as part of the CAISO grid and supports peak shaving, frequency regulation, and wildfire-related grid resilience. Retrofit scope covered all 48 containerized battery units installed across two phases (2019 and 2021).
