Anesco’s Breach Farm has today become the first battery storage system to supply electricity from renewables sources to the UK National Grid Balancing Mechanism The Balancing Mechanism (BM) is one of the most important tools which National Grid uses to balance electricity supply and demand in real-time.
Energy storage projects were under construction across four provinces of China, amounting to 340.5MW of new capacity during the first half of this year in the country, according to the China Energy Storage Alliance (CNESA).
All new housing developments should be fitted with three-phase electricity supply to update them from the single phase norm that has been in place since before World War II, according to a new report out today.
There are three primary benefits of energy storage: Access to lower priced electricity Retention of surplus self generated electricity Emergency power supply However, this can look many different ways. At a recent presentation*, we had an interesting view of the main applications of battery storage that may help explain some of the questions. In this
