The fleet will evaluate how customer-sited energy storage can be used for grid-balancing ancillary services during times of peak demand, such as voltage anomaly mitigation and economic dispatch.

“In California there are frequent periods of high demand for energy that cause stress on the electrical grid,” said Vic Shao, CEO of Green Charge. “Distribution system operators are also facing increasingly complex challenges with growth in distributed energy resources. Energy storage provides a smarter, more efficient grid that helps to relieve stress during peak periods and provide grid support services.”
