Convergent Energy + Power will install the 7MW system, which is anticipated to start operations in the third quarter of 2016.
The complete solution incorporates GE’s Mark VI plant control system with SCADA, Brilliance MW inverters, packaged lithium ion battery modules, medium-voltage transformers and switchgear integration.
The use of the new system will help the IESO balance duration voltage and frequency irregularities in the area that lasts for long time.
The energy storage technology will help Ontario better manage its future energy requirements.
Convergent Energy + Power COO Frank Genova said: "GE worked with us to create a fully integrated energy storage solution that meets the growing needs of the local transmission system.
"The project utilizes reliable GE equipment and products ranging from enclosures through the point of utility interconnection — a strategy that is cost-efficient, simplifies system warrantees and guarantees and provides a financeable solution to our customers."
GE has recently agreed to support Con Edison Development with an energy storage project in California, US.
