GE affirms dedication to launch GE Reservoir

In a bid to deliver cleaner power , GE launched the GE Reservoir which is a comprehensive energy storage platform that delivers a suite of customized storage solutions to aid new customers address new challenges and seek new opportunities in a rapidly transforming power grid that is set to become more highly diversified and distributed.

The reservoir possessing a 20 MW, 80 MWh pre-launch focus further advances GE’s 10-year footprint in the energy storage space and builds upon recent successes and milestones.

GE initiated hybrid-electric gas turbine to multiple accolades across the industry.  GE was the first-to-market with advanced applications for hybrid electric-gas turbines, wind hybrids and “Black Start” capabilities.

Russell Stokes, President and Chief Executive Officer of GE Power said “GE’s Reservoir delivers the new type of energy system that customers are looking for to help manage electricity’s next chapter.”

GE’s Reservoir platform, developed with innovative technology from GE’s Global Research Center, is a flexible, compact energy storage solution for AC or DC coupled systems. The Reservoir solution combines GE’s advanced technologies and expertise in plant controls, power electronics, battery management systems and electrical balance of plant – all backed by GE’s performance guarantees.

The modular system has multiple installation and cabling options including pad or pier and is designed to minimize operation and maintenance (O&M) expenses over the life of the project with an all-weather design and high-efficiency cooling system. It is factory built and test to reduce project installation time and costs.
