Sunverge Takes Part in Energy Innovation Hub at Philadelphia Navy Yard



Sunverge Energy, which optimizes solar power by leveraging distributed generation and storage, will participate in the Energy Innovation Hub at the Philadelphia Navy Yard.

The company will demonstrate its Solar Integration System (SIS) featuring batteries from International Battery. This project is a center for research, education and the commercialization of energy-related technologies. The center is aimed at saving energy, reduce carbon emissions and will position the United States as a leader in renewable energy resources.

“From multiple small Sunverge units, energy can be managed independently and in aggregate to produce significant grid-scale benefits, resulting in faster, cleaner and more reliable energy than conventional grid resources,” said Ken Munson, president, Sunverge Energy, in a statement.

“The Sunverge SIS will provide improvements in power quality and economy while the system will benefit from peak load reduction, demand response participation and a decline in greenhouse gas emissions,” Munson added.

The project will incorporate laboratories, innovation, job creation as well as positioning the United States as a model of energy independence by creating and showcasing energy efficiency strategies and best practices for building design.

“Energy storage systems need to be robust and dependable,” said John Battaglini, vice president, Business Development and Sales for International Battery. “Today's advances in battery technology, combined with superior methods of monitoring and managing electricity, take energy storage to a much higher level of integration in smart energy applications.”

International Battery is partnering with Sunverge to provide large-format Lithium ion batteries for the Sunverge SIS. These large-format batteries are manufactured in Allentown, PA in an aqueous process that provides many environmental benefits.

Recently, Sunverge Energy launched its cost-effective energy management system that distributes generation and storage of renewable energy. The company is addressing the barrier to widespread adoption of renewable energy.
