Grid-Saver™ Energy Storage

TransPower recently initiated development of Grid-Saver™, an integrated, modular energy storage and power conversion system that is designed to be built at a lower cost and deployed more flexibly than competing fast energy storage and grid power balancing technologies.  TransPower’s approach to Grid-Saver™ builds on our pioneering electric vehicle R&D.  Grid-Saver™ will use common battery modules and inverter building blocks which can be used interchangeably in stationary energy storage and electric vehicle systems, helping to increase production quantities and drive down costs.  The first Grid-Saver™ system will be built in late 2012 and the system will be ready for initial field demonstrations by 2013.
