Source: GE Grid SolutionsGE’s Reservoir Solution is a flexible and modular energy storage system for AC- or DC-coupled systems. The innovative and standardized architecture is designed for energy, power and renewable applications.

The Reservoir Solution is an integrated turnkey system. GE’s advanced controls, power electronics, battery and operational management systems are backed by GE’s performance guarantees. The modular system reduces construction time by up to 50 percent. It also showcases an extended battery life and improved safety by reducing fault current.

The Reservoir Solution helps optimize medium to large-scale renewable deployments, efficiently balances distributed energy resources in a microgrid and enables utilities and independent power producers to enhance power generation fleets.

Renewable Deployments

• Guaranteed production plan schedule
• Energy dispatch at peak demand
• Curtailment avoidance preventing loss of energy production
• Fast regulation of grid frequency to balance supply and demand

Microgrids

• Delivers two to four hours of capacity for efficient coordination of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs)
• Maintains service continuity and grid resilience in the event of an outage
• Reduces grid capacity needs during peak periods

Thermal — Hybrid Electric Gas Turbines (EGT)

• Contingency reserve without fuel burn between demand events
• Frequency regulation for enhanced grid stability
• Enhances thermal generation fleet operation and reduces costs
