General Compression

edit

Recognizing that the key to expanding clean power is stabilizing power output from wind and other variable sources, we are developing the General Compression Advanced Energy Storage (GCAESTM) system to store large quantities of energy from wind farms and make it available on demand. General Compression plans to commence construction of its first commercial project in autumn 2011, and is working in partnership with major utilities, independent power producers (IPPs), and gas storage operators to evaluate several sites in North America where GCAESâ„¢ can firm intermittent power and shape grid power capacity.
