Hitachi Energy has installed a 6.25MW/7.5MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) in the Faroe Islands for utility SEV, with substantial benefits to a connected wind farm.
The power solutions arm of manufacturing firm Volvo Group has expanded into the battery energy storage system (BESS) market, launching a sub-system product initially in the US and Europe.
Huge wind power deployments and the limitations of the existing fleet of pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) are driving the battery storage market in Finland, a local system integrator said.
The US utility-scale battery storage sector achieved its highest-ever annual deployments in 2022, a year in which solar PV and wind underperformed against expectations.
Developer PowerField’s first large-scale battery storage projects in the Netherlands will be installed at solar PV parks, allowing them to connect to an otherwise congested grid network.
