Cat® Grid Stability Module

375 kW to 1875 kW
50 Hz 380-400 Volt
60 Hz 380-480 Volt
The Cat® grid stability module is a scalable,
rapidly deployable energy storage system. Energy
storage systems can integrate with solar or other
renewable sources to provide short duration
power when the renewable source is not available.
Cat energy storage systems can also provide
temporary backup power to facilities in the event
Image shown may not reflect actual configuration of a power outage.
