With the recent string of power outages throughout the U.S., we’re reminded of the instability of the current electricity grid. How would a company like ENBALA make a difference and why is their approach so unique?
ENBALA is the ultimate in power storage for the electric grid.
The grid needs energy, capacity, and flexibility as outlined in the diagram below. Energy is the sum of what we need for operating “loads”. For example, keeping the lights on, cooling our beer, and charging our Brammo electric motorcycles. Capacity is required to meet that peak load on a hot summer’s day in Phoenix. Flexibility is the ability to match supply and demand on a second-by-second basis because electricity is a real-time business: energy is produced and consumed at the speed of light.
