Utility & Municipal
Costly Failures and Battery Fires Need to End
The Problems We Help You Solve
Pressure to Contain Costs
Utilities must implement cost-effective solutions to keep ratepayer prices low while aggressively modernizing the grid.
Hard to Deploy Near Demand
Storage must deploy quickly and flexibly near demand centers, not just where land is cheap and available.
Achieving 100% Reliability
High-reliability power solutions are required to prevent blackouts or brownouts under grid stress.
Permitting Delays
Even with secured land, lengthy permitting and emergency response planning pose significant project bottlenecks and delays.
Alsym Na-Series Benefits
Built to Handle Heat, Cut Red Tape, and Keep Projects on Track
Alsym’s Na-Series sodium-ion batteries help OEMs/Integrators provide better energy storage solutions for utility and municipal energy companies.
Lowest Total Cost
Lower total system cost and OpEx savings from reduced thermal management make Na-Series systems cost-competitive with LFP today.
Deploy Anywhere
Non-flammability allows storage placement exactly where the grid needs it, not just where it’s a safe distance away.
Heavy Duty Chemistry
Stable, long-cycling, high-performance chemistry is designed specifically to meet rigorous utility-scale demands.
Streamlined Approvals
Non-flammability and non-toxicity drastically reduce the complexity of permitting, accelerating approval timelines.
Top Use Cases
Supply/Demand Smoothing
Balance the grid by smoothing output from intermittent renewable energy sources like wind and solar.
Higher System Utilization
Maximize the value of legacy assets by running them at optimal capacity and storing the excess.
Avoid Transmission Projects
Deploy storage to avoid slow, costly, and unpopular transmission line upgrades in congested areas.
FAQ
How does Alsym help utilties reduce project permitting timelines?
By utilizing non-flammable NFPP+ chemistry, Alsym drastically reduces the complexity of fire safety approaches. This "fire-safe" profile allows utilities to site storage exactly where the grid is congested.
What is the Levelized Cost of Storage (LCOS) advantage of Alsym systems?
Alsym provides a significantly lower LCOS by combining a lower capital expenditure (CAPEX) with a 20-year service life. Alsym's systems eliminate the need for expensive, energy-intensive HVAC cooling and complex fire suppression infrastructure. When paired with a cycle life of over 10,000 cycles, Alsym batteries deliver more energy over their lifetime at a lower total cost than LFP or lead-acid alternatives.
Can Alsym batteries provide both short-duration and long-duration (LDES)?
Yes. Alsym's technology is uniquely "flexible-duration," capable of discharging from 30 minutes to 110 hours. This versatility allows utilities to use a single asset for multiple applications, providing peak shaving during the day, while also offering long-duration backup to manage mutli-day renewable energy fluctuations or emergency grid outages.
