  • Modular energy storage system
    Patent number: 10522801
    Abstract: A modular energy storage system includes a housing, a plurality of energy storage devices, a first door assembly and a second door assembly. The housing includes a first end and a second end. The plurality of energy storage devices are coupled within the housing. The first door assembly is pivotally coupled to the first end of the housing. The second door assembly is pivotally coupled to the first end of the housing adjacent the first door assembly. The first and second door assemblies each comprise an air distribution member configured to distribute and direct a cooling air flow toward the plurality of energy storage devices to absorb heat energy from the plurality of energy storage devices.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 9, 2016
    Date of Patent: December 31, 2019
    Assignee: Younicos, Inc.
    Inventors: Tom Kronke, Sriram Sarma Emani, Stephen Frank, Melaku Mihret, Eric Schrock, Richard Jennings, Randal Lee, Brian Taraba

  • Responding to local grid events and distributed grid events
    Patent number: 9368968
    Abstract: A control system for an energy storage device is coupled to sensors on an electrical grid. The control system is configured to receive a measurement from each of the sensors. The control system determines, based on the received measurements, whether a grid event is a local event or a distributed event. The control system selects a response mode for controlling the energy storage device based on whether the grid event is determined to be a local event or a distributed event.
