夏威夷自然能源研究所与内华达州的Altair Nano公司签订了一份合同，Altair Nano公司将提供一个一兆瓦的储能系统与一个夏威夷的大岛上的风电场相连。
该研究所是夏威夷大学在马诺阿的一部分，已经订购了一台ALTI-ESS储能系统与风电场连接开展集成测试。
该系统将安装在夏威夷岛上的哈维风电场并连接到夏威夷电灯公司（HELCO）的公用电网上。
本购买设备和相关服务合同的金额约为180万美元。要求Altair nano公司建设，运输，安装及运行的海拔ALTI-ESS先进储能系统，并在三年内提供技术支持和系统的监测与报告。
该项目预计将于2011年第三季度开始运作。
The Hawai’i Natural Energy Institute has awarded Nevada company Altair Nanotechnologies, Inc. a contract to provide a one megawatt energy storage system for connection with a wind farm on Hawaii’s Big Island.
The Institute, part of the University of Hawai’i at Manoa, has ordered a ALTI-ESS energy storage system for a test of wind energy integration.
The system will be installed at the Hawi wind farm on the island of Hawai’i and connected to the Hawai’i Electric Light Company (HELCO) utility grid.
The equipment purchase and associated service contracts, valued at approximately $1.8 million dollars, require Altairnano to build, ship, install and commission its ALTI-ESS advanced energy storage system, and provide technical support and system monitoring and reporting over a period of three years.
The project is expected to be operational by the third quarter of 2011.
