The two 9.9-MW, short-duration Texas Waves storage facilities are fed by E.ON’s 249-megawatt Pyron and the 197-megawatt Inadale wind farms, both near Roscoe, Texas.

The integration of advanced energy storage and software with hydroelectric generation is seen to be a world’s first hybridized system of its kind to provide ancillary services.

The acquisition of Greensmith will let Wärtsilä expand its footprint in the energy storage market and position itself as a leading global energy systems integrator.

By providing hybrid power plants, engines+storage Wärtsilä also introduces energy management system (EMS) to optimize the usage of hybrid power plants.

The energy management system installed at the Navy’s Pacific Missile Range Facility in Hawaii holds the system’s main controller, advanced batteries (inset), and the human machine interface.

Greensmith Energy, a provider of energy storage software and integration services, says American Electric Power (AEP) has selected Greensmith as the software provider for a 2 MW, 14-MWh storage system in West Virginia.

AltaGas and Greensmith will deploy a state-of-the-art 20 MW energy storage system to help with Resource Adequacy in California and offer multiple other grid applications.

Greensmith, one of the largest providers of energy storage software and integration services, announced that European utility E.ON has invested in its Series C round of growth financing. The additional investment brings Greensmith’s total Series C round to $18.3 million, including a previous $5 million strategic investment from American Electric Power. Greensmith plans to use…

Duke Energy, LG Chem, and Greensmith are bringing new technology to the site of a 1952 retired coal plant with the completion of a 2-MW battery-based energy storage system. The new project is designed to increase reliability and stability for the electric power grid. As of November 17, the fast-response system is actively regulating electric grid…

Greensmith, a provider of grid-scale energy storage software and integration services, recently announced the release of GEMS5 — the fifth generation of its energy storage software platform.

Greensmith, a provider of grid-scale energy storage software and integration services, has announced new capability in its fourth generation GEMS energy-storage software. The capability lets owners and operators of multiple distributed energy storage systems aggregate these systems into a single energy storage resource. The new capability gives owners and operators a control layer for managing…

Greensmith, a provider of grid-scale energy storage software and integration solutions, recently released a new audit service for energy storage that helps system developers evaluate the design of their storage system and improve performance. In this WindTalk podcast, Greensmith CEO John Jung discusses wind power and energy storage, and how an auditing service can help…

Duke Energy, LG Chem and Greensmith will team up to build a battery-based energy storage system in Ohio, designed to enhance reliability and increase stability on the electric power grid. Duke Energy, the nation’s largest electric utility, currently owns nearly 15 percent of the grid-connected, battery-based energy storage capacity in the U.S., according to independent research…

Greensmith, provider of grid-scale energy storage software and integration solutions, announced the addition of two new applications to its GEMS4 software technology platform. The new StorageModel and StorageView applications offer advanced simulation and visualization capabilities to energy storage developers and owners. With the new applications, energy storage developers and owners can test alternative energy storage…

Power storage is a sort of missing link in a chain that connects wind farms to load centers. Without storage, unneeded wind power is lost and more often, needed power is unavailable.  Sufficient storage would give utilities more control of their power characteristics such as frequency control. And it might solve the problem of rapid…

Greensmith announced that it is seeing dramatic growth in the grid-scale energy storage market, with 23 MW worth of projects utilizing its GEMS energy storage software platform commissioned in 2014. This growth in demand is being driven by utilities, renewable energy project developers, and other customers who are increasingly using energy storage for a variety…

Greensmith, a developer of grid-scale energy storage technologies, says it is on track to successfully integrate four new battery types in 2014, bringing the company’s total to 12, using its battery-agnostic technology platform. With over 23 MW of energy storage capacity to be deployed in 2014, Greensmith continues its rapid growth by serving an expanding…
