Additional information
The Storage system has been funded with $21,806,219.00 by Federal/National American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 – RD&D under US Department of Energy, Office of Electricity – ARRA Grant. In order to maintain its’ high level of performance and extend the life of the system to continue to provide fast-acting stability to the ERCOT-grid for years to come, Duke Energy decided to re-power the battery technology, which has been using advanced lead acid battery technology since 2012. Over the next 18 months or so, Duke will be replacing the facility’s advanced lead-acid batteries, built by bankrupt startup Xtreme Power, with lithium-ion batteries from Samsung SDI.
