A battery could fulfill a PPA obligation during part of the day, selling energy to France on a wholesale market during another part of the day, and provide frequency response to the UK grid at night. The UK also has a culture of innovation with competitions for new smart grid technologies and solutions, and grid operators are constantly
UK loses 1.4GW of power in interconnector trip, battery storage
Battery energy storage systems (BESS) from several firms helped the energy system recover after the NSL interconnector, which connects the UK and Norway, suddenly stopped exporting power to the UK.
Britain to boost operating capacity to 18GW by 2032 through
National Grid, which has been involved in these two projects through its investment arm, National Grid Ventures, said that these two projects combined would have the capacity to power over 4.2 million homes in the UK. Expected savings to UK consumers in the first 10 years of operation could be as much as £674m.
UK Battery Storage Project Database Report
As of June 2023, the UK has more than 2.4GW of installed battery storage capacity and a total pipeline of planned capacity exceeding 66GW. The size of each project has grown significantly each year with the largest segment of this pipeline now comprising of sites over 100MW:
Energy islands: Pie in the sky or key to net zero?
These islands, or hubs, would gather green electricity from vast arrays of wind turbines out in the gusty open sea and send that power back onshore via interconnectors. They would connect different countries and could also feature electrolysers and/or utility-scale batteries to maximise the renewable energy they can capture without curtailment.
