Situated at Dayton Power and Light’s (DP&L) Tait generating station in Moraine, Ohio, the project is providing frequency regulation services to PJM Interconnection to stabilize the grid that serves over 60 million people in the region.
AES said the facility helps to meet the needs otherwise provided by power generation from inefficient or retiring power plants, reducing overall system emissions and water use while optimizing existing grid resources.
The facility is AES’ fifth facility to run on its Storage Operating System, which is a fast-response control architecture that applies patented performance algorithms to automate the operation of AES-delivered battery-based energy storage arrays.
AES president and CEO Andres Gluski said the company is committed to improve lives by providing safe, reliable and sustainable energy solutions.
"We are pleased to increase our presence in Ohio with the addition of 40MW of Advanced Energy Storage at DP&L’s Tait Generation Station," Gluski said.
AES now has over 174Mw of grid-scale, power plant equivalent flexibility resources in operation and its storage resources are currently deployed in the US and South America.
