GridSurge™

GRIDSPAN’S™ FAST-RESPONSE CONFIGURATION

Power-dominant storage for high-rate, short-duration applications.

About GridSurge™

Fast-response storage for environments where downtime is measured in dollars

GridSurge is GridSpan’s power-optimized configuration, purpose-built for high-rate applications where response time, power quality, and uptime matter.

Configured for short-duration power support, GridSurge helps bridge transient events, stabilize high-demand loads, and support critical operations without oversizing for energy capacity the project does not need.

How GridSurge Works

Ride-through support

Helps bridge short-duration power events that can disrupt uptime-sensitive operations.

Power quality stabilization

Supports high-demand loads where voltage stability, response time, and clean power matter.

Fast grid services

Enables short-duration response for frequency support, grid stabilization, and high-cycle dispatch.

Right-sized power capacity

GridSurge lets projects size power and energy to different needs within the same GridSpan architecture.

How GridSurge changes the project case

1

Power without dead capacity

High-rate applications often need power more than energy. GridSurge helps match the power requirement without overbuilding the full energy block, so projects can support fast discharge, ride-through, and high-rate output without paying for storage duration they do not need.

Capacity aligned to the actual duty cycle.

2

Response when interruptions are costly

In data centers, industrial operations, and grid-support applications, even short power-quality events can create downtime, equipment disruption, or performance risk. GridSurge’s sub-10 ms response helps bridge transient events, stabilize high-demand loads, and support operations that cannot afford hesitation.

Operational continuity when milliseconds matter.

3

Built for applications that punish commodity batteries

Volatile loads, frequent cycling, and fast grid-service dispatch can accelerate degradation, create performance drift, and change lifecycle economics after commissioning. GridSurge is configured for demanding power-first duty cycles where storage must deliver rapid response and predictable output over time.

Predictable performance supports better lifecycle economics.

Built on Evidence

Validated where deployment risk is decided

Storage projects are evaluated by more than performance specs. Safety behavior, standards progress, and supply-chain clarity shape approvals, insurance, financing, and procurement decisions.

Abuse-tested safety behavior

RIT testing showed thermally stable behavior, with no explosion or propagation observed under defined abuse-test conditions.

Third-party validation

Cell UL9540A testing completed; system-level UL1973, UL9540, and UL9540A testing pending.

Supply Chain Confidence

Zero lithium, cobalt, or nickel, with traceable sourcing and a clear non-FEOC alignment pathway.
