General Compression, based in Newton, Massachusetts, is a privately held wind energy technology developer and services provider. The company is known for its Dispatchable Wind Power System (TM), or DWPS. The system encompasses compressed air wind turbine, pipeline network, and power plant components. The DWPS collects and stores wind energy as compressed air, allowing electricity to be generated as needed. Energy is stored in an underground pipe network. Wind turbines are equipped with the firm's Dragonfly (TM) compressors. An expander takes in compressed air and pumps it into the underground pipeline at 1500psi. Compressed air is used to generate to mechanical or electrical power. General Compression's DWPS technology optimizes access to the transmission grid and supports the deployment of capacity, spinning reserve, regulating reserve, and other grid services. The system allows wind power operators to sell electricity when demand is high. General Compression markets DWPS products and services to businesses. The firm will deploy its first systems in 2012.
