Flathead Electric to Install New Zinc Air Battery – Co-op agrees to test new large-scale battery technology

Flathead Electric Co-op plans to install an advanced large-scale battery developed by Zinc Air Inc. http://www.zincairinc.com/ on its campus in Kalispell to test out the new technology, company officials announced Thursday.

The installation will act as a trial run for Zinc Air, which has been working on battery modules that could store large amounts of energy generated by existing utilities and renewable sources.

The field trial will allow Zinc and Flathead Electric to run a number of applications for both utility and co-op customer benefits, such as peak demand reduction and load shifting, according to company officials.
