To help eliminate brown-outs and power interruptions, Glidepath is developing three 20-megawatt battery power facilities in the Chicago area. They would be located in McHenry, Joliet and West Chicago. The facilities would enable grid operators, who have to manage where power comes from and when, to more easily integrate renewable energy. The batteries would store energy generated by power plants after it is produced and discharge it quickly when it is needed.
The facility: Made up of nine containers that house the battery power components. Each facility will sit on about 4 acres and output 20-megawatts of power. It will work with traditional power plants by switching from charge to discharge mode as needed to provide customers with a stable power supply.

1. Containers: Similar in size to a storage or shipping container. They house all of the racks and batteries that store the power. They are equipped with a climate control system and monitors to track performance.


2. Energy storage racks: Each container holds 20 to 30 energy storage racks stacked much like a computer server. Each container holds 80,000 lithium-based batteries.

3. Batteries: About 1.5 times the length of a D cell battery. The batteries are connected to store energy and discharge power.
