Invenergy LLC and Xtreme Power have launched a joint venture to deploy an energy-storage system at Invenergy's Grand Ridge Wind project site in La Salle County, Ill.

Xtreme Power's 1.5 MW Regulation Power Management system will utilize a lithium-titanate battery and an AGC signal to harness full four-quadrant power in less than one second, the companies say, adding that such instantaneous energy delivery will enable Invenergy to help balance supply and demand in the PJM market.
