Energy Storage

Synchronous thermal generation, such as coal power stations, are being replaced by intermittent renewable power sources, such as wind and solar photovoltaic (PV) electricity generation. These irregular producers of power require large lithium ion battery systems to balance the grid in real time to ensure the stability of the UK’s electricity grid.

Energy storage has a vital role to play in the large scale deployment of renewable technologies. The batteries help balance the peaks and troughs by storing and then releasing power, when required. Energy storage is widely accepted to be essential to help the UK achieve its zero carbon targets.
