Energy-Storage.news proudly presents this sponsored webinar with EDF, looking at how the UK’s electricity system can accomodate low-carbon energy resources at ever-growing shares.

An accusation has been made that Hornsdale Power Reserve, the landmark large-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) in South Australia, did not deliver ancillary services as offered over a four-month period in 2019.

A battery energy storage system (BESS) pilot project has been commissioned in Lithuania, paving the way for a much bigger rollout of the technology scheduled to begin soon. 

Tendering will open this week for a 20MW battery energy storage system (BESS) pilot project in Pakistan that could help shape the creation of an ancillary services market.

A new 50MW battery storage site in the UK will be another example of how batteries are benefiting the grid and offering returns for investors, the company behind the project has said. 

Stem Inc and Sunverge, best known for providing battery and solar-plus-storage solutions for businesses and homes respectively, are partnering with companies in the electric vehicle (EV) sector. 

India’s biggest grid-scale battery storage system to date received a visit from Delhi government minister Satyendar Jain, who emphasised the urgent need for energy storage to stabilise the grid and incorporate higher shares of renewable energy sources. 

This edition of news in brief from around the world in energy storage focuses on small-scale but potentially significant deployments. 

Wärtsilä will deploy a 5.2MW / 5.2MWh energy storage system (ESS) to help support Taiwan’s grid, joining the frequency regulation market launched this year by state-owned utility Taiwan Power Company (Taipower). 

Updated 27 July 2021: An RWE spokesperson told Energy-Storage.news that the combined capacity of the BESS installations will be 128MWh across the two sites. It was also confirmed that the project will be commercially-oriented, rather than a demonstration of the technology or potential business models.
