In North America, Duke Energy commissioned:
. . . a stacked, dual application, and simultaneous use battery-ultracapacitor system.
This hybrid system leverages ultracapacitors to perform,
. . . solar smoothing tasks at the distribution level in real time,
. . . particularly when the solar power on the grid fluctuates due to:
. . . . . . cloud cover,
. . . . . . atmospheric conditions, or as
. . . . . . unforeseen PV array, and system circumstances.
While the ultracapacitors are performing distribution-level real-time solar smoothing,
. . . the batteries are simultaneously tasked to perform,
. . . time-energy shifting of a megawatt-scale solar system,
. . . on the distribution circuit feeding the substation.
