Low-cost, reliable electricity is a critical economic driver. Distributed energy storage systems could help meet utility needs in meeting demand and managing associated peaks.
Electric Power Research Institute ( EPRI ): April 2007
Greensmith Energy Management Systems, LLC , provides Smart Storage solutions to the electric power industry. This revolutionary structure effectively redistributes available electricity and reduces peak demand by maximizing operational efficiency and better integrating renewable energy power sources. Rapidly emerging as a critical game-changer, productivity-based technology like Greensmiths Distributed Energy Storage System ( DESS ) will continue to play an increasing role as the industry transitions to enhanced deployment of renewable generation.
Greensmith helps address a number of key challenges faced by the electric utilities industry: Escalating Overall and Peak Demand Declining Electrical Infrastructure Environmental Regulations Carbon Cap-and-Trade Renewable Portfolio Standards (rps/res) Smart Grid Development

LiFP Battery:
8+ year lifespan >3000 cycles Operate outdoors Low maintenance Small footprint Fully recyclable
solar generation
The US and Nations Across the World Have Made Broad Commitments to Renewable Energy. Homes May Not be Able to Absorb All Solar Generation, Leading Excess Solar Power to be Sent Back to the Grid. Winds Intermittency Offsets its Great Potential. Smart Storage Greatly Enhances Renewables by Aligning their Intermittent and Off-Peak Generation with Peak Demand.
