Battery storage for PV and wind generation.
A natural partnership
As solar and wind play a greater role in the energy mix, battery energy storage will be there to store excess generation in the batteries. Our systems make sure that renewable energy is not wasted, allowing businesses to use that energy when it’s needed most or when prices are at their peak.
Storing power for when you need it
We work closely with solar and wind turbine companies to help their customers to make greater use of their renewable energy, keeping them greener for longer.
Our E-STOR system tracks site load and generation from renewable energy sources. This lets it identify when there is surplus energy generation and actively charge the battery to store the energy for when it’s needed. This allows a site to fully capitalise on its low-carbon energy.
When the site requires more energy than its renewable sources can provide, the E-STOR will discharge the previously stored green energy to increase the site’s total renewable usage and reduce its imported energy. Typically, exported energy generates a relatively low level of revenue. By reducing export, an E-STOR can provide a greater value to the site.
Our systems are being used across Europe to decarbonise infrastructure. When working together with specific assets, a battery energy storage system can offset a metered load using renewable energy. Linked to EV chargers this can be used to decarbonise a fleet or linked to ground source heat, to further decarbonise heating systems.
The campus University had a large solar farm on site but were unable to export any excess back to the grid. They installed battery energy storage systems on site to ensure that the excess was not wasted. They allow the storage systems to take excess solar generation at key times of the day and then deliver that power back to the campus when generation stops, programmed to power the site when the sun goes down.
Suffolk County Council installed our system at their new heritage centre. The system is being used to provide power to the building from their solar PV at times when their tariffs are at their peak, helping to reduce their fixed energy costs. The system is also offering grid balancing services to bring in revenue streams.
“This is the start of completely reimagining how we balance our energy onsite. We will be using the batteries in a number of different ways to help us smooth out the energy interactions between the solar farm, the air source heat pump, the gas CHP, and the import of energy.””
