The project will combine Atlas’ supercapacitor energy storage system with one of TransAlta Corporation’s Alberta hydroelectric generation facilities to create a Hybrid Hydro Supercapacitor Energy Storage System (Hybrid Hydro SC-ESS) asset. The project will be a first-of-its kind implementation in North America. The Hybrid Hydro SC-ESS will be capable of responding quickly to grid reliability needs as an efficient, emissions-free grid support resource. Pairing an existing hydroelectric facility with the unique capabilities of Atlas’s Supercapacitor Energy Storage System will demonstrate the potential of non-emitting hybrid energy solutions for sustainable energy development.
The Hybrid Hydro SC-ESS will have enhanced capabilities to respond quickly to grid reliability needs as an efficient, emissions-free grid resource. The hybrid hydroelectric implementation complements the unique capabilities of Atlas’s Supercapacitor Energy Storage System and represents a showcase of the potential of non-emitting hybrid energy solutions for sustainable energy development.
