The purpose of the battery is to provide power during times of peak demand after being charged partly with solar power during the day. [3] It is located next to the Pio Pico and Otay Mesa (1 GW combined) natural gas-fired power stations in Otay Mesa, California, on the outskirts of San Diego, at the Mexican border.
UC San Diego installed this system, which has 5 megawatt-hour (MWh) capacity—enough to power 2,500 homes—in September 2014. [21] BYD is a large supplier of rechargeable batteries, and is also known for its leading position in electric buses. [22] [23] [24]
The Diablo Canyon Power Plant in San Luis Obispo County is the largest power station in California with a nameplate capacity of 2,256 MW and an annual generation of 18,214 GWh in 2018. [6] The largest under construction is the Westlands Solar Park in Kings County, which will generate 2,000 MW when completed in 2025. [7] [8]

A Carnot battery is a type of energy storage system that stores electricity in heat storage and converts the stored heat back to electricity via thermodynamic cycles (for instance, a turbine). While less efficient than pumped hydro or battery storage, this type of system is expected to be cheap and can provide long-duration storage.
