Battery storage
ECO-FRIENDLY ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM SOLUTIONS FROM KWH TO MWH
Currently leading the world market are Lithium-ion and Flow Battery storage technologies. Integrating battery storage with a solar system can maximize the consumption of the solar energy produced by storing electricity during the day for use at night. It also enables strategic management of power purchasing under peak and off-peak grid pricing.
RELIABLE POWER
Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) and grids are facing challenges in meeting the increasing demand for connections. To sell surplus power to the grid and supplement alternative energy sources during periods of high demand, DNO approval is needed for large-scale solar systems. However, obtaining this approval can be a lengthy process, taking up to three months, provided that the grid has sufficient capacity to accommodate the excess power.
MORE STABLE ENERGY OUTPUT TO THE GRID
Not all DNOs have the capacity needed. Battery storage evens out output fluctuations and improves power quality. It stabilizes the output of renewable energy by charging & discharging irregular and intermittent power generated by the solar system.
REDUCE YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT
It goes without saying that the more you use energy produced on-site, the closer you will come to Net Zero. Depending on operating demands, many companies can achieve Net Zero through a combination of energy conservation measures and solar systems with battery storage.
Microgrids
Benefits Of A Microgrid
Microgrids offer a distinct advantage for energy reliability and resilience compared to traditional centralised power systems. They can function independently or alongside the main grid, operating as decentralised networks. By leveraging diverse energy sources, sophisticated control systems, and energy storage, a microgrid has the flexibility to economically power nighttime production and to seamlessly transition between grid-connected and islanded modes to ensure an uninterrupted power supply during grid disruptions.
- Energy reliability & resilience
- Control over energy costs
- Power for additional loads such as EV chargers, electrified heat, and equipment converted to electricity without exceeding ASC (Agreed Supply Capacity) or incurring substantial excess capacity surcharges
- Possibly streamline DNO approval by demonstrating that your project will not increase the DNO's risk of localised power disruption or impact power resilience
- Supercharges corporate sustainability goals
