UTILITY SCALE BATTERY STORAGE ENHANCING YOUR NETWORK
The way electricity is consumed is changing with the increase of renewables and distributed energy generation. With innovative battery storage we have the capabilities to create an energy network for the future which improves system utilization and drives economic growth.
UTILITY SCALE BATTERY STORAGE
Utility-scale battery storage also referred to as large-scale battery storage or grid-scale battery storage, is vital in enabling the transition to a global energy mix that has an increased share of renewable energy generation. For network operators, EVESCO's battery storage solutions can provide grid services such as frequency response, capacity reserve, and ramp rate control. They can also defer investments in upgrading or reinforcing grid infrastructure and can deliver transmission capacity support by supplying power at distributed locations.
Utility-scale battery storage systems can enable greater penetration of variable renewable energy into the grid by storing any excess generated energy and smoothing out the energy output in a process called capacity firming. When combined with renewable energy generators, such as wind, hydro, or solar (PV), our battery storage solutions can unlock the full potential of renewable energy by providing more reliable and far less expensive electricity in isolated grids and off-grid communities, that would otherwise need to rely on expensive imported diesel for their electricity generation.
INCREASING ENERGY FLEXIBILITY & RELIABILITY
EVESCO's utility battery storage systems have a storage capacity ranging from a few megawatt-hours (MWh) to hundreds of MWh. We utilize the very best in battery technology within our battery storage systems designed for grid applications, which include lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) and valve regulated lead acid (VRLA). Our battery storage can be connected to power generation assets or transmission and distribution networks increasing flexibility in power systems and enabling optimal use of renewable energy sources.
The increasing share of renewable energy sources within the global energy mix calls for a more flexible and resilient energy system to make sure that renewable sources are integrated in the most efficient and reliable way. Power Sonic's large scale battery storage solutions increase flexibility and reliability within the energy network enabling optimal use of intermittent renewable electricity sources. More flexibility is delivered due to our battery storage's unique ability to respond lightning fast to import, store and export electricity.

UNLOCKING THE FULL POTENTIAL OF RENEWABLES
Large-scale battery storage is the most responsive and flexible asset available to network operators, it can solve the issue with network volatility caused by the intermittent nature of renewable generation within the network. As EVESCO's battery storage solutions are bi-directional they can provide and absorb power from the energy network, smoothing out the intermittence of renewables by storing and distributing power when needed. Battery storage can be situated anywhere in the network to improve the flexibility and resilience of the entire network.
Integrating renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar, with EVESCO's battery storage will enable you to capture all the energy generated and release that energy when it is needed. You are no longer forced to either use it or lose it. Grid-scale battery storage also enables you to do more with your renewables including capacity firming, power output smoothing, control ramp rates, and power absorbing during times of excess generation. With these capabilities, our lead-acid and lithium battery storage solutions will ensure cost-effective energy on demand.
SCALABLE ENERGY STORAGE SOLUTIONS
Unlike more conventional storage systems, such as pumped hydro storage, battery storage has a number of advantages including flexibility of location and sizing. This means battery storage systems can be deployed closer to the actual locations where flexibility and scalability is needed. Installation of pumped hydro storage, as an example, requires specific geographical conditions. Our battery storage systems are fully scalable in modules and can scale up to the hundreds of megawatt-hours.
Large scale battery energy storage currently dominates in terms of overall energy storage capacity, however deployment of smaller scale battery storage solutions and commercial battery storage have seen an increase in demand. Whatever size battery energy storage system you require and whatever the application EVESCO can help you discover the right solution for you.
