Utility Grid and Behind the Meter

Alevo selected Nuvation Energy's battery management system to manage the batteries in their 2 MW /1MWh energy storage system. A key reason they chose Nuvation Energy's BMS is because it can measure battery cells from 0 volts and accurately manage the charging process from 0% to 100%. Managing this charging process requires highly accurate current readings and a level of precision that most battery management systems cannot provide. Alevo's high energy density cells had 99% availability and could be safely discharged to zero volts. Today the Alevo Gridbank ESS pictured here continues to provide frequency regulation services to the PJM interconnect. Nuvation Energy's Multi-Stack Controller provides parallel stack management and enables servicing of individual battery stacks without taking down the ESS. 

EVLO selected Nuvation Energy’s battery management system (BMS) products to be a part of their energy storage solution design. Nuvation also provided custom Stack Switchgear and design simulation software for EVLO’s 500 kWh and 1 MWh energy storage systems. EVLO is a fully owned subsidiary of Hydro-Québec, North America’s largest renewable energy producer, headquartered in Montreal, Canada. They develop ruggedized and scalable energy storage for utility grid support and demand charge management. Applications include microgrids, renewables integration, backup power, grid resilience, and peak shaving.
