GE Announces Innovative Energy Storage
Platform Called the Reservoir (Photo: Business Wire)
The Reservoir, which already has a 20 MW, 80 MWh pre-launch
commitment, expands GE’s 10-year footprint in the energy storage
space and builds upon recent successes and milestones. Last year,
GE introduced the world’s first hybrid-electric gas turbine to
multiple accolades across the industry. GE was the first-to-market
with advanced applications for hybrid electric-gas turbines, wind
hybrids and “Black Start” capabilities. And just last month, GE
announced a new project with the Arenko Group to build one of the
world’s largest energy storage systems in the UK.
“The energy landscape is undergoing an unprecedented paradigm
shift, as the growth of renewables, decentralization of power and
digitization create both new challenges and opportunities in how
power is generated, transmitted and distributed,” said Russell
Stokes, President and Chief Executive Officer of GE Power. “GE’s
Reservoir delivers the new type of energy system that customers are
looking for to help manage electricity’s next chapter.”
Eric Gebhardt, Vice President and Strategic Technology Officer
of GE Power, said, “GE’s Reservoir platform enables cost-effective
distribution, storage, and utilization of cleaner, more reliable
power where and when it is needed most. It can fit into most any
setting, from centralized grid systems to the most remote villages
and communities. The Reservoir also allows energy providers new
degrees of flexibility for more intelligently managing and getting
the most out of all their power assets.”
GE’s Reservoir Platform… Cleaner, more reliable power where
and when it’s needed most.
GE’s Reservoir platform, developed with innovative technology
from GE’s Global Research Center, is a flexible, compact energy
storage solution for AC or DC coupled systems. The Reservoir
solution combines GE’s advanced technologies and expertise in plant
controls, power electronics, battery management systems and
electrical balance of plant – all backed by GE’s performance
guarantees.
The ability to tap deep and broad technical expertise from the
GRC has integrated unique power and digital technologies that make
the Reservoir a truly unique and differentiated solution.
“At the GRC, we were able to originate a new idea and then pull
from technologies across the Center to rapidly prototype, test and
then productize this breakout storage platform,” said Keith
Longtin, Senior Executive and Product Breakout Leader at GE Global
Research. “The Reservoir pulls in digital twins, Edge controls and
extensive systems expertise through Global Research that you only
will find in this platform.”
GE Reservoir Storage UnitThe 1.2 MW, 4 MWh Reservoir
Storage Unit, is the fundamental building block of GE’s Reservoir
platform. It is a modular solution that integrates GE’s Battery
Blade design (module stack design) with key technologies from
across the company’s portfolio to achieve an industry-leading
energy density, footprint and lifetime performance. GE’s
proprietary Blade Protection Unit (BPU) actively balances the
safety, life, and production of each battery Blade, extending
battery life by up to 15% and reducing fault currents by up to
5X.
The modular system has multiple installation and cabling options
including pad or pier and is designed to minimize operation and
maintenance (O&M) expenses over the life of the project with an
all-weather design and high-efficiency cooling system. It is
factory built and test to reduce project installation time and
costs.
A Living, Learning SystemGE’s Reservoir platform
leverages Predix and Edge controls technologies to provide
data-driven insights that help energy operators enhance their
systems. These digital technologies leverage GE’s unique and
unparalleled technical and industry domain knowledge across the
entire energy ecosystem from generation to consumption.
Put together, GE’s Reservoir delivers the most comprehensive
energy storage platform to help meet the energy industry’s rapidly
changing needs. The ability to offer highly customized solutions
through the platform offers customers unprecedented levels of
flexibility, resilience and operational efficiency in hybrid
generation, grid operation and energy management. GE’s Reservoir
also enables other diverse applications that include: Managing
higher levels of renewable power, grid stabilization, peak demand
management and controlling energy flow. By enabling better asset
utilization and overall system management, customers can realize
new revenue opportunities and cost savings as well.
