Battery Storage Technology Cables

From Renewable energy to E-mobility, battery storage technology and battery energy storage systems (BESS) are aiding widespread adoption and transforming the power landscape and strengthening our sustainable energy infrastructure.

Battery energy storage systems also support national power network grid balancing, and can replace conventional power generators. The UK Government recently relaxed planning legislation to make it easier for large-scale batteries for renewable energy solutions to be constructed. The UK has the largest installed capacity of offshore wind in the world but as wind speed and availability is not constant it can result in production that is lost rather than efficiently used. Battery storage technology will help mitigate this by stabilising and balancing the outflow. It is part of a wider move to smarter grid tech.

On a smaller scale, microgeneration battery storage technology (also referred to as Energy storage systems or thermal stores) is allowing home and business owners to control their own energy consumption, combining with solar PV to provide power on demand rather than having to export excess to the grid.

In many cases, the combination of size and weight reduction and capacity increase, alongside rising energy demands and increasing grid volatility makes integrating battery storage facilities and technology into wider installations a key consideration, both from an efficiency point of view and for the associated green credentials.
