Aaron energy storage for resilience

The Aaron project's 100-hour storage capacity could've prevented 76% of blackouts. Early adopters are already seeing results: With levelized storage costs at $0. 12 for lithium-ion), utilities are jumping faster than cats on a hot tin roof. . As the capital costs of battery storage systems are decreasing, new oppor-tunities to cost-effectively deploy the technology, often paired with renewable energy technologies, are emerging. At the same time, the duration and frequency of natural disasters is increas-ing. But what if I told you there's a sleeping giant in this space? Meet Aaron Compression Energy Storage (ACES), the tech that's making engineers do double takes and climate activists nod. . An array of strategies exist for using energy storage to fortify resilience efforts, thus preventing power outages. These strategies can support the economical deployment of energy storage in public power communities.
