Solar Energy - APS Testing Energy Storage




Arizona Public Service began testing a new 1.5 megawatt-hour energy storage system that can generate the equivalent power output of 1200 hybrid cars or 300000 cell phone batteries. The goal of the company's two-year pilot in Flagstaff, Ariz., will be to determine the benefits for storing electricity and putting it onto the grid at times when APS customers need it most. APS is also using this pilot to explore how it can use energy storage to make electricity more reliable and affordable for the long term, with a greater proportion of that power coming from renewable energy.
