EGT — Enhanced Gas Turbine — is the architecture we pioneered at Stanton: a gas turbine and a battery storage system controlled as one machine, dispatching from whichever resource costs the grid less in the moment.

The battery handles spinning reserve, regulation, and the first seconds of every start. The turbine handles sustained load. The plant looks like one resource to the ISO, and emits roughly half what a comparable simple-cycle peaker emits over a year of dispatch.

What changes when you retrofit.

  • Start emissions drop ~60% — battery covers ramp-in
  • Plant qualifies for ancillary service markets it couldn't before
  • Heat rate improves at low load through battery-assisted operation
  • Capacity payments often increase under updated RA rules
  • Extends useful life of the existing turbine 10–15 years

The reference design.

Stanton Energy Reliability Center is the first commercial deployment of fully integrated hybrid gas-battery operation in the United States. Online since 2020. Recognized as a 2021 S&P Global Platts Global Energy Award finalist for Commercial Technology of the Year.

We license the control architecture and the operating playbook to other developers retrofitting their fleets.
