Sungrow has supplied battery storage systems for a 326MW energy storage roll out in the UK, by Statera Energy.
The first phase of Statera’s 362MW/391 megawatt hour energy storage project was recently grid-connected, while the rest will be brought online later this year.
Statera is using Sungrow’s ST3727kWh-3450UD-MV high-efficiency turnkey energy storage system.
The project consists of distributed systems capable of discharging power at times of peak demand or under-production in multiple suburbs across the UK.
The storage capacity will help the UK meet its Capacity Market objective of achieving long-term security of supply and contribute to the offsetting of the risk of its increasing reliance on wind generation by strengthening the National Grid’s Dynamic Containment frequency response service.
“We have partnered with Sungrow because of its proven track record, the quality and the integrated nature of its product offering.
“Statera believes that battery storage will play a pivotal role in facilitating the transition to low carbon generation and will continue to work with Sungrow on coming projects in the UK in 2022,” said Tom Vernon, managing director of Statera Energy.
