Case Study: PJM Interconnection boosts clean power value and grid efficiency with Convergent Energy + Power solar-plus-storage

PJM Interconnection boosts solar value with Convergent’s 1 MW / 2 MWh storage systems

A PJM Interconnection utility was facing operational and economic challenges due to the intermittency of its solar arrays, which were feeding too much power to the grid during low-demand periods. Convergent Energy + Power retrofitted two of the utility's solar facilities with its solar-plus-storage solution, integrating 1 MW / 2 MWh battery energy storage systems operated by its proprietary PEAK IQ® software.

The solution from Convergent Energy + Power allowed the utility to store solar energy and dispatch it strategically during peak demand, optimizing economic value and grid reliability. This solar-plus-storage system provided greater value to the utility by balancing supply and demand with clean power, reducing the need for additional peak infrastructure investment. As a result of the successful implementation, Convergent is developing three more solar-plus-storage facilities for the same utility.
