The Iron Horse Battery Energy Storage System is a 10,000kW energy storage project located in Arizona, US.
The electro-chemical battery energy storage project uses lithium-ion as its storage technology. The project was commissioned in 2017.
Description
The Iron Horse Battery Energy Storage System was developed by E.ON Climate & Renewables North America. The project is owned by E.ON Climate & Renewables North America (100%), a subsidiary of E.ON.
The key applications of the project are frequency regulation, voltage control and grid support services.
Contractors involved
E.ON Climate & Renewables North America and Landis+Gyr have delivered the battery energy storage project.
Additional information
The 10 MW lithium titanium oxide storage facility and accompanying 2 MW solar array is now helping Tucson Electric Power (TEP) to maintain reliable electric service for more than 400,000 customers by providing frequency regulation and voltage control support. Landis+Gyr designed, engineered, and supplied a 10 MW containerized lithium-ion energy storage system based on Toshiba’s SCiB technology for this project.
