Battery Energy Storage
Mitigate the impact of renewable generation on the grid through efficient energy storage.
The volatility of the renewable energy sources necessitates the use of highly responsive tools to iron out frequency fluctuations and resulting network instability that could lead to operational disturbances in equipment connected to it.
Battery storage makes it possible to control fluctuations in frequency of the power system, to automate voltage regulation, optimize demand and supply, and provide reliable back-up in blackout or disaster situations. With the help of integrated grid energy storage, either utility- or third party-owned, energy companies will be able to provide multiple services to the grid.
Toshibas’ Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is gaining traction with major utilities around the world that are aiming to optimize the impact of renewables on the grid in order to maintain high quality and reliable power delivery.
The changing market landscape is creating a growing demand for advanced storage systems, especially with regard to renewable energy inputs. Toshibas’ Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) does a lot more than make it possible to control fluctuations in frequency of wind and solar inputs.
It automates voltage regulation, optimizes demand and supply, and provides reliable back-up in blackout or disaster situations. Little wonder this 1.2 MW battery storage unit is rapidly gaining favor with major utilities.
Helen Ltd, a major energy utility in Finland, is heading a research project that will explore innovations in using and controlling energy storage as part of the smart grid initiative. The energy storage technology chosen for the project will be delivered by Landis+Gyr and Toshiba. The 1.2 MW Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) will be the biggest of its kind in the Nordic countries.
