Smart energy storage & efficiency

Reliable energy storage for resilience, cost control, and greater renewable energy use

More flexible, intelligent & sustainable energy storage solutions

We help clients evaluate battery energy storage systems (BESS) that improve resilience, increase renewable energy use and protect critical operations during grid disruptions. When designed with the appropriate controls and power electronics, these systems can provide a smooth transition from grid power to backup, minimizing interruptions for sensitive facilities.

battery energy storage system
Lower electricity costs

Batteries can reduce operating costs by charging when electricity prices are lower or surplus renewable power is available and then discharging during higher-cost periods

Grid export

Where market rules permit, stored electricity may also be exported to the grid, creating another way to use available stored energy when it is needed.

Repurposed EV batteries

Retired electric-vehicle batteries can be tested and repurposed into stationary storage systems ranging from hundreds of kilowatt-hours to megawatt-hour scale

Longer-duration storage

For longer-duration requirements, flow, sodium and zinc batteries are advancing alongside other storage options, including hydrogen where project economics support its use.

Doing it right the first time

Improving building efficiency

Reducing energy demand is often as important as producing or storing clean energy. For existing buildings, Integra offers EcoloSynergy’s Low-E nanothermal window membrane, which upgrades existing glazing without requiring window replacement. The membrane reduces solar heat gain during warmer periods and helps retain indoor heat in colder conditions, improving comfort and reducing heating and cooling demand in hotels, offices, institutional buildings, and other facilities.

Lower heating and cooling demand

Better control of solar heat gain and indoor heat retention eases the load on HVAC systems in hotels, offices and institutional facilities

Make existing buildings perform better

Improve the performance of current glazing as part of a practical building-efficiency upgrade, without major façade work

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Yes. With the appropriate controls and power electronics, a battery energy storage system can transition from grid power to backup power with minimal interruption for sensitive operations.
Batteries can charge when electricity prices are lower or when surplus renewable power is available, then discharge during peak-demand or higher-cost periods.
In markets where the rules allow it, stored electricity may be exported to the grid. Whether this is viable depends on local market requirements and the project setup.
Capacity should be based on the loads that need protection, the required backup duration, the facility’s operating schedule, electricity-use profile and available renewable generation.
Yes. Battery storage can capture surplus renewable power when it is available and use it later, helping increase the usable value of on-site solar generation.

They can be, once they have been tested and assessed for stationary use. Repurposed electric-vehicle batteries can be used in systems ranging from hundreds of kilowatt-hours to megawatt-hour scale.

These technologies may be considered when a project has longer-duration storage requirements or operating conditions that call for an alternative to conventional battery systems.
Yes. Hydrogen can serve as a long-duration energy carrier where project scale, operating requirements and economics support its use.
In some projects, storage can help manage peak demand and reduce strain on the site’s electrical supply. This depends on the facility’s load profile, existing infrastructure and operating requirements.
Yes. Reducing energy demand can be as important as producing or storing clean energy. For existing buildings, Low-E nanothermal window membrane can upgrade existing glazing without window replacement, reducing solar heat gain in warmer periods and helping retain indoor heat in colder conditions.
