Duke Energy operates 986 megawatts of wind-energy capacity, just selected Xtreme Power to design and install the world’s largest power-storage system linked to a wind farm. The 36-megawatt storage system is expected to cost $44 million and will go into operation in the third quarter of 2012.
The system will retain power generated when demand is low and can be tapped when electricity consumption is highest or the wind is not blowing. It will make the 153-megawatt Notrees wind farm in west Texas a more reliable source of energy.
