Trina Storage has secured a deal to provide battery energy storage systems (BESS) for four UK sites being developed by independent power producer Low Carbon.
The systems will deliver approximately 190MWh of total storage capacity, bringing new arbitrage and other ancillary capabilities to each plant.
Each BESS will have a two-hour duration and will be installed at Low Carbon’s Meadow, Sandon Brook, Fern Brook and Birch solar farms, supporting renewables integration in the grid.
Trina Storage offers a complete system service as part of the project, encompassing consulting, system design and design, supply and integration and a long-term services agreement covering maintenance and extended performance warranties in the long-term.
While the BESS installations are being carried out as standalone projects, each connected solar power plant also features Trina Solar PV modules for producing energy.
Justin Thesiger, Managing Director of Global Supply Chain at Low Carbon, said: “We are delighted to be partnering with Trina Storage to deliver these projects.
“Trina has a leading position in the UK energy storage space, with a reputation for high-quality manufacturing and a secure supply chain. Having worked with the company previously on successful solar PV projects, expanding our partnership into the storage space made sense.”
Gabriele Buccini, Head of Utility Storage at Trina Solar, added: “Storage is an area that will become increasingly crucial as the world continues its shift to renewable energy, so we are thrilled to be working with Low Carbon on this project.
“We look forward to seeing the results once installation has been completed, and to working closely with Low Carbon on further projects in the future.”
