ELKINS, W.Va. -- On top of the wooded green, orange and red rain-soaked hills near here, AES Wind Generation LLC, a subsidiary of AES Corp., yesterday unveiled its new grid-scale power storage system, the largest facility of its kind in the world.
The energy storage system is part of AES Laurel Mountain, a 13-mile stretch of 61 wind turbines traversing Barbour and Randolph counties. "We've never put wind and storage in one location [before today]," said Phil Harrington, AES's president of global wind generation. "The combination of these resources together holds the promise of grid stability."
