Energy Time Shift Module

Photos

The Cat® Energy Shift (ES) module is a scalable, rapidly deployable energy storage system. The energy storage system integrates with solar or other renewable sources to store energy for use when the renewable source is not available. This systems provide temporary backup power to facilities in the event of a power outage.

Application
Time shifting of renewable energy, Grid forming, Grid firming/grid stabilization, Renewable smoothing, Peak shaving, Grid firming/grid stabilization, Facility backup, Spinning reserve
Module Type
1200 kWh (1000 kW module)
Rated Power
250 - 1000 kW
