It is located at DP&L's Tait station in Moraine\, Ohio. The energy storage faci lity is based upon more than 830\,000 lithium-ion batteries housed in clim ate controlled shipping containers at the site. The AES battery array prov ides frequency regulation service to the PJM Interconnection market\, and this facility is the first of its kind in Ohio. The battery array connects to the grid via DP&L's Tait station transformers\, through an independent agreement with PJM.\n\nThis is AES’ fifth facility to run on its Storag e Operating System. This patented operating system\, called sOS\, is a fas t-response control architecture that applies performance algorithms to aut omate the operation of battery-based arrays\, optimizing performance\, eff iciency\, and extending the life of the batteries. The project was deploye d from AES’ inventory of battery modules allowing for engineering\, cons truction\, and commissioning to occur in less than six months.\n\nIn addit ion to the battery array\, Tait station consists of seven gas-and/or oil-f ired combustion turbines\, and four diesel generators\, with a generating capacity of about 586 megawatts.
