The STMicroelectronics UPS System – BESS is a 10,000kW energy storage project located in Phoenix, Arizona, US.
The electro-chemical battery energy storage project uses lead-acid as its storage technology. The project was announced in 1999 and was commissioned in 2000.
Description
The STMicroelectronics UPS System – BESS was developed by STMicroelectronics. The project is owned by STMicroelectronics (100%).
The key application of the project is grid-connected commercial (reliability & quality).
Contractors involved
STMicroelectronics has delivered the battery energy storage project.
Additional information
Pika Energy has been chosen by Green Mountain Power to plan and design Emerald Lake State Park so it will be powered by sunlight, with the Tesla batteries providing backup electricity.
