EVLO to Deploy a 20-MWh Battery Storage System During Transmission Work

• EVLO Energy Storage space Inc. introduced today that it will deploy a 4-MW/ 20-MWh battery power storage system on the Hydro-Québec grid based upon the lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery technology.

The system will certainly be deployed in the community of Parent as part of the work being carried out on a transmission line and also will provide the area's residential and industrial consumers for the whole duration of the work.

It will be the biggest power storage system deployed in Quebec. As soon as the work is completed, the system will certainly remain in position to take care of peaks on the grid and also serve as an auxiliary source in the event of an outage. The installation of the energy storage system will greatly boost service connection in this remote neighborhood, which is supplied by a single line, as well as will lead to a 3,500-tonne decrease in greenhouse gas (GHG) discharges.

"The Parent substation project will be the very first energy storage space system on our grid that will fulfill the transmission system's demand for solution continuity by giving a supporting power source through islanding throughout interruptions and also prepared de-energizations. The project will certainly boost the area's power grid resilience," kept in mind Maxime Lajoie, Senior Director-- Planning, Expertise and also Operational Support in Hydro-Québec's Groupe-- TransÉnergie et équipement.

"The power storage system can be charged in the evening and also utilized throughout the day to provide the city while the line is de-energized for work to be executed. This cutting-edge option will certainly limit using generators, which work on fossil fuels, while likewise decreasing greenhouse gas exhausts, noise pollution as well as the transportation of fuel," included Alain Aubuchon, EVLO's Director of Business Relations.

The various storage space system parts will certainly be provided in fall 2021 as well as the system is anticipated to be in service by spring 2022. As part of the project, EVLO will certainly likewise provide its innovative software program solution, which can be utilized to execute the operating and also storage system management tasks from another location.

EVLO will certainly also soon be supplying two other storage space systems: one 2-MW system in La Prairie, Québec, as part of the solar creating station project and also a 9-MW system in Joux-la-Ville, France, as part of the Tonnerre project in collaboration with Innergex.

This project improves the success of other systems deployed by EVLO, namely in Quaqtaq in Northern Québec, Hemmingford as well as Blainville, along with in Lac-Mégantic as part of the town's microgrid project.
