Listen Here. It has been a minute since you’ve heard me on a podcast. But now you can change that by listening to the latest episode of Factor This! With John Engel. John, who’s been covering the market for Renewable Energy World, and I had a great chat talking about this (newsletter) and you (the reader) and of course, all things energy storage.
One Major Highlight. Having spent the last two years, day and night, living energy storage, I can tell you that one of the biggest items that need to be defined for folks is who does what. Let me highlight the big ones. First is the manufacturer, either a direct OEM that makes the box or an integrator that uses contract manufacturing to make the box. That box is the DC Block. Then comes the PCS manufacturer, that makes the inverter and related power electronics skid. Last is the operating system, which brings together the digital controls hardware (servers) and the EMS platform. This is a unique nexus of coded/configured hardware and robust software platform. With FlexGen, we’re the operating system with the added touch of providing commissioning services to the storage asset owner.
