June 24, 2015 by Jeff Shepard

Eguana Technologies Inc. will unveil its AC Battery to the industry today for the first time at the Grid Edge Live conference in San Diego, California. The Grid Edge Live Conference is a focal point for utilities, regulators, and technology providers to define the nature of operations management, investment, and third party participation in the utility of the future.

Eguana's AC Battery creates a critical new product category for utilities and other service providers, supporting batteries from an expanding range of vendors and accepting dispatch commands from any control network using open communication protocols. As previously announced, (News Release: April 22, 2015) Eguana has combined its AC Battery with LG Chem's leading lithium ion battery to deliver a fully integrated premium home energy storage solution. With built in battery protection, the AC Battery gives the integrator total flexibility to meet their operational objectives.

Eguana's CTO, Brent Harris, will join a panel of industry leaders to discuss the rise of intelligent distributed assets: software enabled, grid connected consumer infrastructure in U.S. market. Residential and small commercial storage systems are the most flexible and transformative consumer infrastructure assets and their capabilities will change the relationship between consumers and their utilities. Eguana is embracing the opportunity to be a key contributor to shaping the relationship between the utility of the future and its customers.

The AC Battery is a pre-integrated and fully certified energy storage system which requires only a grid connection and a dispatch signal to provide a fully functional and durable energy storage installation to the consumer. The AC Battery provides maximum flexibility for system aggregators which want to deploy it as part of new solar storage installations or as a retrofit to solar PV installations already in place.
