Samsung SDI has partnered with Xtreme Power to install a 1MW/1MWh lithium-ion battery energy storage system at the Reese Technology Center in Lubbock, Texas, as part of a smart grid demonstration project funded by the Center for the Commercialization of Electric Technologies. The project aims to combine utility-scale energy storage with wind generation, mitigate fluctuations from nearby wind turbines, and provide voltage regulation and frequency support. The system is currently operational, and data collection is ongoing to evaluate the benefits of the lithium-ion battery technology.
