Battery-based energy storage is one of the most significant and effective methods for storing electrical energy. The optimum mix of efficiency, cost, and flexibility is provided by the electrochemical energy storage device, which has become indispensable to modern living.
Against the backdrop of swift and significant cost reductions, the use of battery energy storage in power systems is increasing. Not that energy storage is a new phenomenon: pumped hydro-storage has seen widespread deployment for decades. There is, however, no doubt we are entering a new phase full of potential and opportunities.
The sharp and continuous deployment of intermittent Renewable Energy Sources (RES) and especially of Photovoltaics (PVs) poses serious challenges on modern power systems. Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are seen as a promising technology to tackle the arising technical bottlenecks, gathering significant attention in recent years.
Such a transition is expected to be achieved with the use of Energy Storage, which is able to transform the buildings into more predictable power sources and, therefore, ensure the security and stability of the power system by minimising uncontrollable excess PV production injection.
In May 2023, we launched our largest European battery-based energy storage project at the Antwerp platform in Belgium. With its 40 containers, the site will develop a capacity of 75 MWh, which is equivalent to the daily consumption of almost 10,000 homes.
