Utility EWS AG and developer MW Storage have completed the expansion of a battery energy storage system (BESS) project in Switzerland from 20MW to 28MW, making it the country’s largest.
The inverters at an upcoming 300MW/600MWh project in Scotland, UK, will enable the asset to deliver inertia that is “essential for the grid to function efficiently”.
South Africa needs to prioritise grid-located battery storage if it is to overcome the ongoing ‘load-shedding’ power outage crisis plaguing the country.
The role of energy storage in helping Europe’s energy security is increasingly being recognised, said keynote speakers at The Energy Storage Summit EU today, hosted by our publisher Solar Media.
Global system integrator Fluence will deploy a 250MW ‘Grid Booster’ battery energy storage system for transmission system operator (TSO) TransnetBW, one of two such projects planned in Germany.
