Storage Management

Strategically located grid storage will answer a myriad of issues confronting the energy industry. From alleviating transmission and distribution (T&D) congestion to cost-effectively managing the intermittency associated with renewables, investment in energy storage is becoming an increasingly attractive solution.

Utilities opting to invest in grid storage will quickly face the need to control the charging and discharging behavior of their distributed assets. GridPoint’s energy storage software offers the proven ability to aggregate and dispatch grid resources in real-time, synchronizing with external signals to maximize the benefits of storing energy.

Today, GridPoint’s energy storage software is deployed in Xcel Energy’s Wind-to-Battery project, using live AGC and price signals to control the flow of electricity between the grid and an NGK one-megawatt sodium-sulfur battery.
