Powin Energy Corporation announced that the University of Washington has ordered its 30 kW/40 kWh battery energy storage system (BESS) and will use it for research, demonstration, grid simulation and educational purposes.
TUALATIN, Ore. – November 30, 2016 – Powin Energy Corporation (stock symbol: PWON), a leading designer and developer of safe and scalable energy storage solutions for utilities, C&I, and EV fast-charging stations, announced today that the University of Washington has ordered its 30 kW/40 kWh battery energy storage system (BESS). The University’s Clean Energy Institute will install the BESS at its new Washington Clean Energy Testbeds facility in Seattle and use it for research, demonstration, grid simulation and educational purposes.
“Powin Energy’s battery energy storage system will be a critical tool for research and innovation at our new Washington Clean Energy Testbeds,” said University of Washington professor of chemical engineering and clean energy Venkat Subramanian. “We look forward to having our students, faculty, and the cleantech community use the Powin BESS to measure the performance of energy devices and algorithms when integrated into real and simulated system environments.”
Subramanian plans to use Powin Energy’s BESS to test the limits of battery management systems (BMS) to determine how important a quality BMS is to the longevity of stationary storage. Powin Energy will participate in this Washington Research Foundation-sponsored research by developing the test protocols under which the battery packs will be used and by sharing access to the resulting data.
