Energy Storage

Providing a More Stable Grid

SAIC’s energy storage services creates a more stable grid by improving load control and frequency regulation, delivering increased security and reliability, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Our energy storage services can be used to dispatch renewable energy sources such as wind and solar, allowing our customers to create a cogeneration/combined heat and power platform for their energy needs.They can also improve the return on renewable energy generation investments, enable profitable power market arbitrage, enable the deferral of electric infrastructure investments, and reduce end-user electricity costs.

Energy storage, including solutions based on lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery technology, are technically and economically superior to traditional generation-based mechanisms used for supply of ancillary services. Energy storage makes these sources more predictable, allowing them to be seamlessly integrated with the existing power grid.

Dynamic Load Control

Our energy storage services allow power plant owners dynamic load control to improve capacity factor. By using an energy storage system in lieu of reserved thermal plant capacity, generators can fully optimize their energy output and allow an energy storage system to satisfy required spinning reserve capacity. This reserve capacity has greater flexibility in response to market signals which lowers usage and cost, can be scaled to any size requirement, and is delivered from an emissions-free facility.
