Energy Storage

Utility scale energy storage has seen remarkable growth in recent years. Parker SSD manufactures megawatt class power conversion systems (PCS) with an installed base in North America and abroad.

To support the addition of renewable power generation sources, to maintain grid frequency stability, or for an economical alternative to "spinning reserve", many facilities are turning toward energy storage systems. Due to advances in battery technology, battery based electricity storage systems are gaining in popularity compared to flywheels, compressed air, pumped hydro, or other non-solid state systems. Capabilities of battery energy storage systems (BESS) include black start, load following, power factor control, and deferred T&D upgrade investment. Parker offers the only refrigerant cooled energy storage PCS on the market for an efficient and compact solution. Contact us for quotations on an energy storage PCS to meet your specifications.
