Our Smart Grid
The smart grid connects to a variety of residential and large-scale equipment to optimize energy use, including: Energy storage: utility-scale and
It also helps store extra electricity when the demand is low and helps address peak energy demands during the coldest winter months. The battery system may also help Saint John Energy provide power to customers during power outages due to storm events.
One of these grid-scale batteries sites can store enough electricity to power approximately 10,000 homes for a four-hour period and would provide an equal amount of power as one carbon-based fuel generating unit that we currently rely on when the load on the grid is high.
Our award-winning smart grid makes our system more modern, resilient, efficient, and future-ready. It uses digital technology and data to predict energy demand so we can generate, store and distribute power more efficiently, improve reliability and reduce outages.
Most modern grid-scale batteries have up to four hours of storage capacity at maximum output. For example, Nova Scotia Power plans to install three grid-scale battery projects in the near future. Each of the projects have a maximum of 50MW of output for 4 hours, or 200MWh of capacity.
