The Grid Storage Launchpad (GSL) is a 85,000 SF facility that includes 30 laboratory modules, a laboratory suite dedicated to testing energy storage technologies, workstations, collaboration areas and multiple conference rooms. The GSL will provide systematic and independent validation and testing of new grid storage technologies – from basic materials and components to prototype devices – under realistic grid operating conditions. It will promote rigorous grid performance requirements to all stages of technology development and will accelerate the development of innovative technologies. Further, it will link researchers from national laboratories, universities and industry in a collaborative setting to speed innovation and deployment of grid-scale energy storage technologies.
