Battery Energy Storage Systems

Energy storage is the interface between intermittent renewable power and a more consistent, clean, resilient energy supply releasing congestion and smoothening out power variations that occur in renewable energy generation. Energy storage allows for the capability of stacking revenue streams including frequency-regulation services, transmission and distribution deferral, and demand- response services to ensure a strong return on investment. Though inherently complex, our strategic positioning and skills as an experienced energy storage integrator ensures we deliver a cohesive solution.

Our company has been involved in multiple energy storage projects giving us the knowledge and experience necessary to successfully service and commission your energy storage systems. Experience in this emerging field is a rarity and here at TRS, we are proud to offer comprehensive energy storage solutions backed by proven track record of success.
