3. Why Distributed Storage?
Flexibility and simplicity of deployment
Modular, certified, factory-built AC Batteries
Lever solar PV & HVAC installation networks
Host derives behind-the-meter benefits
Backup power
PV self-consumption
Demand charge management
Time of day arbitrage
Fleet aggregation for grid edge services & markets
Feeder Voltage Control
Frequency Regulation
Demand Response
Spinning Reserve

4. Non-Aggregated Distributed Storage
Behind the meter benefits
Important Driver for:
Residential in Germany, Japan, and Australia
Commercial in the USA
Backup important for US residential customers, but not market catalyst
Today’s rate structures limit US residential value props

5. Markets and Services
Behind the Meter Energy Storage provides the broadest range of services
Operational flexibility is key to economics

Renewables Integration

7. “Utility of the Future” projects

8. High Penetration Rooftop Solar PV
Solar PV is spreading fast based on falling costs and rising electricity rates. Solar tends to cluster on feeders for community layout, socioeconomic, resource availability, and sales and service efficiency reasons.

9. AC Battery => Energy Storage Appliance
Eguana’s AC Battery is a certified, grid ready power control solution pre-integrated with industry leading Li-ion batteries. Our solution can be seamlessly integrated with a local energy management system or a distributed fleet control network using open communication protocols to provide a fully functional energy storage installation
