Synthetic Inertia
& Grid Revenue
Per-facility economic model for StorFabric rack-integrated battery storage. Demonstrates power continuity value, wholesale market revenue, and grid stabilization impact.
Protect
10-minute bridge at full rack load. <100ms transfer. Covers the critical gap between PSU capacitors and facility BESS.
Get Paid
Wholesale frequency regulation revenue via FERC Order 2222 aggregated DER participation.
Grid Citizen
14+ states restricting DC builds. "We give X MW back" is a concrete permitting argument.
Simple Payback Analysis
Your 200 MW facility becomes a 150 MW grid asset that earns $5.3M/year, protects against $112K/year in downtime, and pays for itself in under 5 years.
Market Context
Through Q1 2025, the 19 batteries reporting FERC Electric Quarterly Reports in PJM earned an average of $832/MW-day ($304/kW-year), with 86% from regulation. After PJM's October 2025 market redesign, regulation prices averaged $129/MW-hr — more than 2.5× higher than energy prices.
FERC Order 2222 enables aggregated distributed energy resources to participate in wholesale capacity, energy, and ancillary services markets. StorFabric racks, coordinated across a facility, qualify as an aggregated DER — turning every equipped data center into a registered grid asset.
US data center power demand exceeded 50 GW at end of 2025 with 24% CAGR, and 25.3 GW is under construction. At 15% StorFabric penetration across the US installed base (~2.2M total racks), the aggregate resource is ~4 GWh of distributed storage and ~24 GW of synthetic inertia — comparable to a large gas peaker fleet.
