Danbury-based Cadenza Innovation announced the City of Bridgeport has selected the company’s lithium-ion battery energy storage system (BESS) technology for a pilot project to be deployed inside the city’s Fire Department headquarters.
The pilot project is funded by Connecticut Innovations and is the first public demonstration of Cadenza Innovation’s battery technology in the state. Purpose-built for safety-intensive urban deployments, BESS offers a low voltage, indoor, cloud-connected technology designed to achieve energy savings and reduce a carbon footprint. The company and the Fire Department will collaborate to measure and analyze energy use and generate a report that delivers the peak-shaving efficiencies, arbitrage capabilities and back-up power in the event of a grid outage.
“Bridgeport has a long history of pioneering innovation in the energy sector,” said Cadenza Innovation Founder and CEO Dr. Christina Lampe-Onnerud. “The Cadenza Innovation team is thrilled to be chosen for this project to bolster the city’s reputation as an energy resilience hub and augment the state’s standing as a climate change leader.”
