The puzzle that Greensmith presented to John Jung as he became CEO three years ago was one he had completed at other VC-backed start-ups. But the electric utility industry was struggling to see how the pieces fit together.
Alternative Energy Magazine interviewed Greensmith Market Development Manager, Kate Reimer. The article, Intelligent Energy Storage Systems, covers the uses of Greensmith systems in renewable energy integration.
The importance of better battery management systems as featured by Greentech Media:
ARPA-E wants technologies that boost battery performance all the way down to the cell level. Here are some startups working on it.
Greentech Media reported a summary of the recent KEMA report on upcoming growth in the energy storage market. KEMA predicted that the largest sector for growth would be distributed energy storage and systems for the integration of renewables: “”Current investment trends, according to KEMA, indicate the biggest growth will come in distributed storage, ancillary services for the grid and applications that facilitate grid integration of renewables.””

Gigaom’s Katie Fehrenbacher interviewed John Jung last Friday. Her article, “How big data and the cloud can manage grid batteries,” (re-posted below) provides a great overview of Greensmith’s software capabilities.
Greensmith systems reach MW-scale with a major CA utility.
Greensmith Energy Management Systems, a leader in distributed energy storage control systems continues its growth, now with fourteen customers, including eight electric utilities using the company’s field-tested suite of product offerings.
