EEStor, maker of the supposedly killer energy storage device, might soon plug its “electrical energy storage unit” (EESU) into the grid to help solve renewable energy’s intermittent power generation problem of when the sun doesn’t shine and the wind doesn’t blow. MIT Technology Review reports that the stealthy Austin, Texas-based startup is in “serious talks” with potential solar and wind energy partners to help boost grid capacity by providing utility-scale electricity storage. But before EEStor puts its EESUs on the grid it will have start making them and CEO Dick Weir has said production will start by the end of 2009.
EEStor joins AltairNano and A123 Systems as startups looking to connect their energy storage devices to the grid. The idea is that large capacity, fast-charging storage devices could sit on the grid, storing and providing energy to the grid as necessary. Excess energy generated at night could be stored and then used during the day during peak demand. Large, static storage devices could allow operators more flexibility and help renewable energy offer a stable base load. Weir claims that by partnering with wind and solar energy producers, EEStor could put 45 percent more energy on the grid.
AltairNano is developing ceramic lithium-ion batteries with nano-structured materials that allow for large amounts of surface area for fast charging. AltairNano’s new CEO Terry Copeland told us earlier this summer that the startup had successfully charged and discharged two megawatts of power to the grid in 30 minutes from one of their batteries in a partnership with AES.
Battery darling A123 Systems said in June it is already working with its investor General Electric to use its lithium-ion batteries for “grid stabilization.” Ric Fulop, founder and vice president of business development, said on a panel of energy storage experts organized by the New England Clean Energy Council that the battery technology is already there. “Now it’s a question of building the systems. Megawatt-level systems are all about systems integration.”
EEStor has a long way to go before it tackles systems integration. The startup just had its materials verified for purity and consistency, a necessary step, but far off from a working EESU. “I’m not going to make claims on when we’re going to get product out there,” Weir Told MIT Tech Review unapologetically. “That’s between me and the customer. I don’t want to tell the industry.”

EEStor, fabricante de la supuesta asesina dispositivo de almacenamiento de energía, pronto podría conectar su "energía eléctrica unidad de almacenamiento" (EESU) en la red para ayudar a resolver las energías renovables intermitentes de generación de energía problema de cuando el sol no brilla y el viento doesn 'T golpe. MIT Technology Review informa de que las sigilosas Austin, Texas basada en el arranque está en "conversaciones serias" con potencial de energía solar y eólica socios para ayudar a impulsar la capacidad de red mediante el suministro de servicios públicos-electricidad escala de almacenamiento. But before EEStor puts its EESUs on the grid it will have start making them and CEO Dick Weir has said production will start by the end of 2009. Pero antes de EEStor pone su EESUs en la red que tendrá que comenzar a hacer y CEO Dick Weir ha dicho la producción comenzará a finales de 2009.
EEStor joins AltairNano and A123 Systems as startups looking to connect their energy storage devices to the grid. EEStor une AltairNano y A123 Systems como empresas de mirar para conectar sus dispositivos de almacenamiento de energía a la red. The idea is that large capacity, fast-charging storage devices could sit on the grid, storing and providing energy to the grid as necessary. La idea es que de gran capacidad, rápido de tarificación dispositivos de almacenamiento podrían sentarse en la red, almacenamiento y suministro de energía a la red cuando sea necesario. Excess energy generated at night could be stored and then used during the day during peak demand. El exceso de energía generada por la noche podría ser almacenada y luego utilizan durante el día durante los picos de demanda. Large, static storage devices could allow operators more flexibility and help renewable energy offer a stable base load. Las grandes, dispositivos de almacenamiento estática podría permitir a los operadores una mayor flexibilidad y ayudar a las energías renovables ofrecen una base estable de carga. Weir claims that by partnering with wind and solar energy producers, EEStor could put 45 percent more energy on the grid. Weir sostiene que al asociarse con las energías eólica y solar productores, EEStor podría poner el 45 por ciento más de energía en la red.

Batería darling A123 Systems dijo en junio que ya está trabajando con sus inversores, General Electric para su uso Baterías de iones de litio para "red de estabilización." Ric Fulop, fundador y vicepresidente de desarrollo empresarial, dijo a un grupo de expertos en almacenamiento de energía, organizado por la Nueva Inglaterra de limpieza del Consejo de Energía que la batería de tecnología ya está ahí. “Now it’sa question of building the systems.

Megawatt-level systems are all about systems integration.” Megavatios a nivel de sistemas son todos acerca de la integración de sistemas. "
EEStor has a long way to go before it tackles systems integration. EEStor tiene un largo camino por recorrer antes de que aborda la integración de sistemas. The startup just had its materials verified for purity and consistency, a necessary step, but far off from a working EESU. La puesta en marcha sólo había verificado sus materiales para la pureza y coherencia, un paso necesario, pero lejos de un grupo de trabajo EESU. “I’m not going to make claims on when we’re going to get product out there,” Weir Told MIT Tech Review unapologetically. "No voy a hacer reclamaciones sobre cuándo vamos a recibir productos a cabo allí", dijo Weir MIT Tech Review unapologetically. “That’s between me and the customer. "Eso es entre yo y el cliente.
