Sungrow Expands UK Presence With 362 MW/391 MWh Storage Space Project For Statera

• Energy storage space remains to grow for the top tier inverter firm.
• European countries, particularly the UK remain in the midst of a significant transition to renewables, and the demand for energy storage will certainly be robust for the foreseeable future.

Sungrow, the international leading inverter solution distributor for renewables, revealed that the business's project with Statera Energy, a market leader in the provision of flexibility to the UK grid, to supply a 362 MW/391 MWh energy storage space project in the UK gets on schedule. The very first phase of the project was grid-connected in Q1, 2022, while the remainder will be brought on-line this year also.

The independent power manufacturer Statera Energy will certainly adopt Sungrow's ST3727kWh-3450UD-MV high-efficiency turnkey energy storage system solution with enhanced safety and security to develop subsidy-free energy storage efficient in releasing power sometimes of peak demand or under-production in numerous suburbs throughout the UK. A lot more significantly, the project will certainly aid the UK meet its Capacity Market purpose of achieving long-term protection of supply and add to the offsetting of the danger of its boosting reliance on wind generation by reinforcing the National Grid's Dynamic Containment frequency response service.

With the share of renewable energy, particularly offshore wind energy growing in the UK grid, quicker acting frequency action items are required because system frequency is relocating away from 50 Hz much more rapidly therefore of imbalances.

On January 27 of 2021, UK power system operator National Grid began permitting the piling of revenues in parts of the Balancing Mechanism which has been of considerable importance to battery asset proprietors. The National Grid expects the added flexibility as well as income stacking to boost the performance of battery properties supplying the service, and rise competitors which would certainly, subsequently, reduce costs to the consumer.

"We have actually partnered with Sungrow as a result of its proven track record, the quality as well as the integrated nature of its product offering. Statera believes that battery storage will certainly play a pivotal role in helping with the shift to reduced carbon generation as well as will continue to work with Sungrow on coming projects in the UK in 2022," said Tom Vernon, Managing Director of Statera Energy Limited.

Because opening its Milton Keynes branch in 2014, the neighborhood group of Sungrow UK, a subsidy of Sungrow, has realized significant traction in the United Kingdom with 10s of energy storage applications. In addition, Europe's largest energy storage space project, the 100 MW/100 MWh Minety plant with Sungrow's 1500V energy storage space system remedies has actually been running stably as well as efficiently for regarding one year.
