By GlobalDataDescription
The Powin- Monterrey Microgrid – Battery Energy Storage System was developed by Plus Power. The project is owned by Arroyo Energy Investment Partners (100%).
The key applications of the project are frequency & voltage regulation and spinning reserve services.
Contractors involved
Arroyo Energy Investment Partners, Plus Power and Powin Energy have delivered the battery energy storage project.
Additional information
The microgrid provides frequency, voltage regulation, and fast spinning reserve to keep the system up and running when there is a generator failure or load spike. In performance tests, the Powin system responded to the failure of an engine in less than one-tenth of a second (100 milliseconds) and stabilized the frequency in less than half a second (500 milliseconds). The project is a part of Powin Energy’s 32.8MW/70MWh energy storage projects.
Methodology
All publicly-announced energy storage projects included in this analysis are drawn from GlobalData’s Power IC. The information regarding the projects are sourced through secondary information sources such as country specific power players, company news and reports, statistical organisations, regulatory body, government planning reports and their publications and is further validated through primary from various stakeholders such as power utility companies, consultants, energy associations of respective countries, government bodies and professionals from leading players in the power sector.
