Northern Power Systems and Eos Energy Storage
partner to supply Integrated Battery Storage
solutions
Turnkey product breaks sub £400/kWh installed cost barrier to enable utility energy storage markets.
orthern Power Systems and
Eos Energy Storage (“Eos”)
announce a strategic
partnership to develop and
offer integrated energy storage
systems (ESS) for utilities and
commercial/industrial customers. The initiative
combines the safe, ultra-low cost Eos Aurora®
DC battery system with Northern Power’s
advanced energy storage inverter, controls, and
engineering expertise. The suite of integrated
solutions provides 4 hours of usable energy
using modular 250kW battery building blocks
that are scalable for multi-MW applications.

“Northern Power’s patented converter
architecture and advanced controls
technology are an excellent match for Eos’
battery offering”
“Batteries represent a significant portion of
the performance and cost of an energy storage
system,” said Iain Hardie, UK Director of Sales
at Northern Power Systems. “By using the Eos
Aurora, we can deliver a fully integrated ESS
solution at an all-in, installed price of less than
£400/kWh—depending on project size and
location but always with the quality,
functionality and reliability that is characteristic

of Northern Power. We believe this offering will
allow more customers than ever to access the
benefits of an on-site energy storage system.”
Northern Power and Eos are jointly
developing and supplying industry-leading,
turnkey ESS solutions offering seamless
integration of batteries, power conversion, and
controls along with installation and
maintenance services as needed. The joint
product represents a cost-effective option for
utilities who want to provide relief in grid
constrained areas, lower capacity payments,
defer substation upgrades, and/or better
integrate renewable energy. The integrated
product is also appropriate for large
commercial and industrial facilities looking to
lower demand and peak energy charges, or
provide resiliency against grid outages.
“Northern Power’s patented converter
architecture and advanced controls technology
are an excellent match for Eos’ battery offering.
The team’s engineering capabilities will ensure
successful system integration and performance
for major utilities around the world,” said Eos
Vice President of Business Development,
Philippe Bouchard. “We are gratified to work on
these projects with Northern and their clients,
and Eos looks forward to deepening this
relationship through the collaborative Eos
AegisTMintegration program.”
The revolutionary Eos Aurora battery solution
is powered by the company’s aqueous, zinc
hybrid cathode Znyth® technology and offers
game-changing cost and performance for a
critical segment of the energy storage market.
With a volume price of £150/kWh for the DC
system and an expected life of 5,000 full depth-
of-discharge cycles, the Eos Aurora offers the
best-fit solution for multi-hour energy storage
applications.
Northern Power’s FlexPhase™ power
converter technology leverages a modular,
compact, and efficient design that is easy to
service. The platform allows for a wide range of
DC voltages suitable for a variety of battery
types. Northern Power’s proprietary
PowerRouter™ controls allow for seamless
transitions between grid and islanded
operation, as well as black start capability. The
grid-friendly design improves power quality and
system stability.
