Eaton, an intelligent power management company, has launched its xStorageTM battery energy storage system (BESS) that will speed up decarbonization projects and maximize the impact of onsite renewables.
The solution can help communities and businesses reduce energy costs, lower carbon emissions, and maintain power during utility outages; benefits it is able to offer by providing the ability to strategically dispatch stored energy and operate separately from the grid.
The xStrorage BESS transforms loads on the grid into intelligent energy assets by gathering energy from onsite generation sources and discharging that energy in a strategic manner. The result allows customers to access that stored energy when utility rates are at their highest, there’s an outage, or when energy markets are favorable for selling excess energy back to the grid.
The BESS provides 250 to 1000 kWh of usable stored energy and can be parallelled to double capacity in the future. Its modular design allows for flexible installation and a reduced footprint.
Eaton has a national network of trained field service engineers to provide expert commissioning and lifecycle maintenance services.
“Communities and businesses have a significant opportunity to improve the environment and the bottom line by taking greater control over their energy systems,” said Aidan Graham, senior vice president and general manager of Critical Power Solutions at Eaton, in a statement. “We’ve already proven the capabilities of our grid-interactive energy storage technology within the data center industry. Now, we’re excited to help even more customers advance reliable, sustainable and affordable power with our xStorage BESS.”
