KORE Power to supply batteries for co-located 20MWh ABB, Ecotricity battery storage space project

• Battery cell manufacturer KORE Power is to provide the batteries for a 10MW/20MWh battery storage project under advancement between ABB and power provider Ecotricity.

The battery energy storage space system (BESS) will certainly be mounted at Ecotricity's existing 6.9 MW wind farm in Gloucestershire in 2023, with KORE to provide its Mark 1 power storage space modules outfitted with its high power density NMC pouch technology. The Mark 1 system is fully licensed under UN 38.3, UL 1973 as well as IEC 62619 as well as accomplished UL 9540A.

KORE stated the project stands for an essential step for the firm in the "swiftly expanding UK market".

Situated in Arizona, the gigafactory will add to an increase of KORE's existing manufacturing facility in China from 2GWh to 6GWh.

The business likewise lately introduced a complete storage space integrator department - KORE Solutions - with the acquisition of existing company Northern Reliability.

ABB's eStorage MAX BESS in Gloucestershire is to be incorporated with Ecotricity's Smart Grid platform, using the firm's exclusive optimization model to send off the battery energy storage space according to system needs.

The project is to provide both a material addition to the company's renewable energy offering and also highlight the capacity of short-term quick reaction innovations such as BESS to include additional security to the national grid, KORE claimed.

" We share the vision of ABB and also Ecotricity that sustainable, trusted energy is the smart option for organization and also for the earth," claimed Lindsay Gorrill, co-founder and CEO of KORE Power. "This project demonstrates that our clean power future has shown up."
