Battery Technician

Battery Technician

Vacancy expired!

Backup systems come into play during power outages, but those for data centers have to “ramp up millions of watts of backup electricity in seconds.” Google wants to leverage a more green alternative, and will soon install a battery-based system in its facilities.

Batteries are an appealing option for the power sector because of the flexibility they provide. Unlike a natural gas peaker plant, which can take minutes to dispatch and often run on idle in order to better meet short-term spikes in demand, a battery can dispatch power instantaneously. That makes them potentially valuable resources to help smooth out sudden spikes or drops in power supplies
