An EPC plays a critical role in the design and construction of new battery energy storage projects. We’re keen to keep an up-to-date and free-to-access list for all market participants. Contact: web enquiries [email protected]
You can store electricity in electrical batteries, or convert it into heat and stored in a heat battery. You can also store heat in thermal storage, such as a hot water cylinder. Energy storage can be useful if you already generate your own renewable energy, as it lets you use more of your low carbon energy.
Energy storage systems let you capture heat or electricity when it’s readily available,. This kind of readily available energy is typically renewable energy. By storing it to use later, you make more use of renewable energy sources and are less reliant on fossil fuels. Let’s look at how they work and what the different types of energy storage are.
With a strong balance sheet, Clarke Energy will provide Full EPC Wrap for BESS projects and will also consider Balance of Plant EPC on larger BESS schemes. Clarke Energy has a strong aftersales service support network with over 130 UK based Field Service Engineers.
Energy storage can be useful if you already generate your own renewable energy, as it lets you use more of your low carbon energy. It reduces wasted energy and is more cost effective than exporting excess electricity. For example, you can store electricity generated during the day by solar panels in an electric battery.
Heat batteries are generally smaller and lighter than filled thermal stores. This means you can install one in a convenient location even if you can’t find space for a traditional hot water cylinder. Heat storage batteries don’t degrade in the same way as electrical batteries, so should have a longer lifespan.
