Grid connected power refers to short-term storage for utility-scale energy producers. Axion’s principal focus is short-term storage for renewable energy such as wind and solar power.
The rapid recharge and deep discharge capacity of our PbC® battery are well suited for intermittent power sources like wind and solar. When coupled with our ability to deliver longer cycle lives with minimal maintenance, we believe grid connected systems based on our PbC® technology will be able to offer a greater total number of useful cycles lives. If battery cost per charge/discharge cycle is low enough, peak shaving and grid buffering for traditional utilities may also be cost effective. Axion has also developed the PowerCubeTM. The PowerCubeTM is a highly mobile energy storage system that can be configured to deliver up to 1 MW of power for 30 minutes or 100 KW of power for 10 hours.
