• xStorage battery energy storage system helps maximize onsite renewables, reduce energy costs and decarbonize power systems
  
• Eaton’s national network of engineers, digital monitoring and management software provide comprehensive commissioning and maintenance support

PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Eaton, an intelligent power management company, announced the xStorage™ battery energy storage system (BESS) to accelerate decarbonization projects and maximize the impact of onsite renewables. By providing the ability to strategically dispatch stored energy and operate independently from the electric grid, the solution can help communities and businesses reduce energy costs, lower carbon emissions, and maintain power during utility outages.

Transforming Energy Systems

Energy storage is cornerstone to Eaton’s Everything as a Grid approach to the energy transition. The interoperable xStorage BESS transforms facilities from loads on the grid into intelligent energy assets by accumulating energy from onsite generation sources and discharging the energy strategically to make the biggest impact. The solution enables customers to tap into stored energy when utility rates are highest, if an outage is detected, or when energy markets are favorable for selling excess energy back onto the grid.

“Communities and businesses have a significant opportunity to improve the environment and the bottom line by taking greater control over their energy systems,” said Aidan Graham, senior vice president and general manager of Critical Power Solutions at Eaton. “We’ve already proven the capabilities of our grid-interactive energy storage technology within the data center industry. Now, we’re excited to help even more customers advance reliable, sustainable, and affordable power with our xStorage BESS.”

Enhancing Resilience and Efficiency

With built-in microgrid islanding capabilities, xStorage BESS helps minimize the impact of unplanned utility outages. It also provides the digital capabilities needed to monetize energy systems through participation in grid-connected demand response programs and energy markets. Predictive, remote equipment health monitoring and system management are enabled through Eaton’s Brightlayer software suite.

Scalable and Modular Design

To help customers scale as needs evolve, Eaton’s xStorage BESS provides 250 to 1000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of usable stored energy and can be paralleled to double capacity in the future. A modular design provides customers with flexible installation options and reduced footprint. And with Eaton’s national network of highly trained field service engineers, the turnkey solution can incorporate expert commissioning and lifecycle maintenance services.
