Pioneering Battery Energy Storage System Pilot Projects
Battery TechnologyIn the ever-evolving landscape of energy generation and distribution, battery energy storage systems (BESS) have emerged as a crucial component in achieving a sustainable and resilient energy future. Recent initiatives like Dominion Energy’s Darbytown Storage Pilot Project and Cadenza Innovation’s BESS pilot project in Bridgeport underscore the importance of creating and funding such innovative endeavors. These projects are not only pushing the boundaries of energy storage technology. Let’s delve into the importance of BESS pilot projects and the potential impact they can have on the energy landscape.
CT startup chooses Bridgeport FD for first battery that allows electricity to be saved for later use
The Connecticut PostThis is the first installation for storage battery developer Cadenza Innovations in its home state of Connecticut, where it has headquarters in Danbury under CEO Christina Lampe-Onnerud. The company designed its system so that many batteries can be linked together modularly for the power needs of any facility, from homes to large commercial structures requiring utility-scale power.
Cadenza Innovation aims to help decarbonize the grid with high-tech batteries
Hartford Business JournalLampe-Onnerud said safety, specifically reducing the risk of fires in connection with Lithium-ion batteries, was key to making Cadenza’s technology work on a larger scale.
The company’s products, she said, have eliminated the thermal propagation behind fires and explosions in legacy lithium-ion systems, while still providing high performance.
Lithium-ion batteries are common in cell phones, but are small. Cadenza is developing batteries that come in much larger sizes, and can be used to provide power to cars and buildings.
In CT and New England, batteries gain juice for emergency power
Multiple battery farms are now in the works in Connecticut that could provide short-term boosts in electricity, including in Milford. Danbury-based Cadenza Innovation is among the companies nationally developing utility-scale battery storage systems.
The U.S. is behind Asia and Europe on battery manufacturing—but the push is on to change that
FortuneI have known Christina Lampe-Önnerud for 15 years, and she is irrepressible. She has an ebullient personality and a passion for opera singing, jazz dancing, and cello playing—among other things. But her true love is batteries. She founded the battery company Boston-Power in 2005, ran it until 2012, and then took the only route she saw available to achieving scale in her business: she sold it to Chinese investors. It was an all-too-common case of American innovation providing the base for a Chinese manufacturing industry.
