Active Power Joins Grid Edge Executive Council
Company Joins Elite Group to Challenge and Revolutionize Electric Grid
(firmenpresse) - AUSTIN, TX -- (Marketwired) -- 10/15/15 -- Active Power, Inc. (NASDAQ: ACPW), a manufacturer of flywheel technology solutions for mission critical and renewable applications worldwide, announced today it has joined the Greentech Media (GTM) Research Grid Edge Executive Council. Active Power joins an exclusive group of the most forward-thinking utility and power leaders representing every aspect of the grid edge landscape, who together are working to shape the future of the electric power industry.
Active Power's flywheel and battery integrated energy storage technology aligns with the council's mission to lead the transition of the industry into a next-generation, holistic, and distributed energy system. The company's approach addresses the technical, operational, and financial challenges inherent with microgrids and renewable power sources.
"Widespread implementation of microgrids has faced challenges due in part to the lack of affordable energy storage systems needed to compensate for the highly variable nature of renewables," said Matt Zafuto, vice president, Business Development, at Active Power, and Executive Council member. "We believe our technology is a key value driver for renewables and microgrids. Flywheels are a mature, commercially viable technology and in combination with batteries improve energy storage reliability, increase operational viability of renewable sources, and lower total cost of ownership. We look forward to working with the council to collaborate on projects that further promote grid modernization."
"The Grid Edge Executive Council is made up of more than 90 companies from the United States, Europe, and Australia who are leading the transition to a decentralized, distributed, and transactive electric grid," said Ben Kellison, director of Grid Research, at GTM. "These members are creating, integrating, and deploying the technology and business models that make up the foundation of this transition and we welcome Active Power to this group of industry leaders."
