A123 Energy Solutions has commissioned a 500kW 125kWh grid-connected energy storage system for Dongfang Electric Machinery in Hangzhou, China.
The lithium iron-phosphate system is housed in an existing on-site building rather than being in a stand-alone container. The system is co-located with PV and wind generation sources to integrate renewable energy resources for the machinery company.
The system incorporates the A123 Energy Response Operating System (AEROS) software that allows the site operator to control functionality of the system for seamless energy source integration. A123 said the system is well suited for accommodating fluctuations in variable energy resources like wind or solar, and can be used to improve the efficiency of traditional thermal generators as well.
The system is A123 Energy Solutions’ second installation in China.
