Since its inception in 2009, Stem is the first energy storage company to create AI-driven storage products designed to provide demand charge management and energy arbitrage for commercial and industrial customers, with the first projects entering operations in 2012. Stem systems now regularly provide customers and utilities with demand charge reduction, time of use bill management, increased PV self-consumption, and distribution deferral services, among the 13 energy and grid services capable of storage as described by the Rocky Mountain Institute. Entering 2019, Stem is expanding its business strategies with its AI platform, Athena, capable of providing additional power quality and backup power services for the uninterruptible power supply market and solar + storage markets. Stem energy storage systems are also capable of offering additional voltage control and frequency regulation where Federal and state/provincial regulators finalize local market rules for storage’s role in those grid services.

Kleinschmidt - www.kleinschmidtgroup.com For more than 50 years, Kleinschmidt has provided engineering, permitting, and environmental consulting services to energy companies and government agencies across North America. Kleinschmidt offers practical solutions to complex problems affecting energy, water, and the environment. We are an employee-owned company with more than 140 employees, offering a depth of experience typically found in large organizations; all while retaining the personal attention that characterize smaller firms. We specialize in aspects of waterpower facilities, including:
  • Dam and Spillway Engineering
  • Dam Safety Reviews
  • Powerhouse Rehabilitations
  • Penstock Inspections and Design
  • Fisheries Studies and Fish Passage Design
A recent example of Kleinschmidt’s work was the design of a state-of-the-art downstream fish passage system in New Brunswick that can be used to trap fish and transport them downstream past three large dams. We provided a review of downstream passage alternatives and survival studies for Atlantic salmon smolt, conducted bathymetry and velocity measurements, engineering design, and construction support. The project included a new floating fish guidance boom; the replacement of an existing spillway gate; a new adjustable fish collection screen; and a new catch pool and fish transport pipe leading to a sorting and transport facility. With these new systems in place, fisheries resource agencies now have various options for managing the downstream movement of Atlantic salmon through the watershed. We have offices in Peterborough, Ontario, and Halifax, Nova Scotia, as well as nine office locations throughout the United States. Our Canadian staff allows for local project management and technical execution, with support, as necessary, from staff in the United States. We are actively engaged in expanding our engineering services and other capabilities in Canada. We look forward to an active corporate partnership with the Canadian Electricity Association in 2019 and beyond.
