Energy storage box stamping parts

How do energy storage systems work?

Energy storage systems can be used to absorb excess power flow from the grid, and then release this energy later; thereby relieving transmission congestion and increasing the hosting capacity of the grid. Hosting capacity refers to the distribution system’s ability to incorporate DERs effectively into the grid.

What is a standalone energy storage system?

Con Ed defines a standalone energy storage system as are those systems installed separate from other customer load, and are generally operated to participate in energy, capacity, or ancillary services markets.

What is a Beacon energy storage system?

Beacon's energy storage systems are proprietary designs that enable grids to operate more reliably. Our proven flywheel energy storage systems help grid operators in NYISO, PJM and ISO-NE safely and efficiently balance power grid supply and demand. Beacon's designs are cost-effective and durable.

What is a BTM energy storage system?

BTM energy storage systems are those located with a host load. The primary benefits of an energy storage system to a host load may include enabling flexibility in electricity consumption for peak load shaving, demand charge management, and responding to time-of-use commodity supply prices.

How can energy storage help meet New York's electric system needs?

Energy storage will play an increasingly significant role in helping to meet New York’s electric system needs. This includes peak load reduction, renewable firming and time shifting, carbon reduction, and increased resilience.

What are FTM distributed energy storage systems?

FTM distributed energy storage systems are those typically injecting energy into the distribution system behind a meter where there is no customer load.
