Large-Scale, Long- Duration Energy Storage
RESPONDING to the URGENCY OF CLIMATE CHANGE WHILE MAINTAINING OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL RESILIENCE
Transforming thermal generation into low-carbon, flexible, renewable storage systems
Growing deployment of renewable energy and mandates to decarbonize electric generation are disrupting energy markets. Success of solar and wind has led to periods of over-abundance, low or negative priced energy, and curtailment of clean generation. Pintail Power overcomes these challenges with patented hybrid technology that integrates proven thermal energy storage media with existing or new thermal generation to deliver unprecedented flexibility, efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
What if excess solar generation could be reserved (not curtailed) for steep ramps and overnight loads while increasing efficiency of essential thermal generation?
Realistic Transition to target Goals
Pintail Power hybrid thermal storage options fill the daily and seasonal variability gaps of wind and solar. We enable a reliable transition to aspirational clean energy targets with systems that complement batteries and can use lower carbon and renewable gas as available.
- Low cost at utility and microgrid scales
- Longer duration and smaller footprint than batteries
- More flexible siting than pumped hydro or CAES
- Minimizes need to alter customer usage behavior
- Equitable approach to supporting universal service
