It is focused on large scale energy storage systems absorbing and injecting energy instantly, which helps to manage electrical grids and minimize the infrastructural cost. The large-scale storage solutions provided make grids more reliable, they regulate frequency and balance solar and wind generation variability.
Their special feature: They are an energy store and a hydroelectric power plant in one. If there is a surplus of power in the grid, the pumped storage power station switches to pumping mode – an electric motor drives the pump turbines, which pumps water from a lower reservoir to a higher storage basin.
The energy storage projects offered include direct current distribution systems, CES, anti-idling retrofit and pole utility solutions. Among the latest innovations is the extremely fast EV charging solution with a storage system for the highest efficiency and a MEG for emergency use. Headquarters: Saint Louis, US
