Advanced Battery Launched By Philadelphia Navy Yard

Philadelphia’s Navy Yard has brought online a new battery that improves grid reliability. Using specially designed control systems, the battery injects or draws out energy from the grid, based on a signal from a utility.

A part of the GridSTAR Smart Grid Experience Center that is being developed at the Navy Yard led by Penn State, the Department of Energy, the Philadelphia Industrial Development Corporation, and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the facility will include many features. These include energy storage, electric vehicle charging stations, an area for a smart grid demonstration home, and also an indoor-outdoor training facility.
