Renewable Integration
As wind and solar energy adoption continues to grow, energy grids can be impacted by the intermittent nature of RE sources. Incorporating battery storage technology is the most cost-effective option for the safe and successful integration of renewables. Other benefits of renewable integration include the management of short-term variability on the power grid and a modernization of the grid.
Energy Shifting
Energy storage can be utilized to shift the peak generation from the PV system as energy demand fluctuates. It saves energy during periods when demand is low. Installed storage captures solar energy and allows local utilities to be more independent in their energy mix. Energy shifting enables organizations to get the maximum revenue from their PV generator, enabling higher DC/AC ratios for PV plants as well as time-variant grid injection. Various options: • Sell energy at higher market price during peak periods (arbitrage) • Supply electricity with a higher renewable proportion
Renewables' Curtailment Avoidance
RE Production may be curtailed by a grid operator for various reasons, such as increasing the stability of the network. At the same time, energy storage allows PV excess energy to be stored and delivered when needed.
AC/DC Coupled Solutions
DC Coupled
Batteries and PV modules share one inverter: PV inverter with a direct connection to PV modules and connection via DC-DC converter to batteries lower CAPEX due to less equipment
AC Coupled
Batteries and PV modules have their own respective inverters and either share one point of connection (POC) or have separate POCs (ESS standalone) more operational flexibility
Standalone
High efficiency, standalone utility-scale solutions for ultra-fast grid services, T&D deferral and market pooled assets.
- Tier 1 products delivered (hardware & software components)
- Smart design with an optimized and cost-efficient solution
- Flexible warranty package
- Minimal response time, thanks to advanced power plant controlling
- Instantaneous active and reactive power supply
- Trustworthy, expert partner network and strong supply chain
- Flexible solutions designed for each customer’s needs
Frequency Regulation System
Frequency regulation is known as one of the best methods for increasing grid stability:
Grid overfrequency (when generation is higher than demand)Inverter power output is curtailed and energy is stored through charging batteries
Grid underfrequency (when generation is lower than demand)Inverter power output is increased by discharging the batteries and injecting more power to the grid
Gas Peaker Replacement
Batteries are a good alternative when it comes to managing grid peaks and provide many benefits:
• Drive cost efficiencies
• CO2 emission avoidance
• Better power quality
Transmission & Distribution Deferral
A small amount of storage can result in the delay or avoidance of a costly T&D upgrade. New RE assets lead to a change in power flows in distribution networks, allowing greater use of distribution networks. Energy Storage also prevent high costs generated by network upgrades.
Standalone
Battery is connected to the grid via Power Conversion System (PCS), transformer and substation Battery capacity can be used to provide ancillary services such as fast frequency response (FFR), balancing mechanism to grid providers Highly efficient power plant controller guarantees fast response times complying with the highest grid standards

Challenges
Beyond compliance with UK Health & Safety regulations, the COVID-19 pandemic introduced further challenges surrounding testing, vaccinations, and site management. Furthermore, the small site footprint limited the space for storage and deliveries. And finally, challenges associated with the Brexit lead to a shortage in shipping capacity, demanding careful supply chain management to source the required components.
The Solution
After providing a comprehensive technical pre-sales consultancy, Trina Storage supported planning requirements. The company designed and supplied the full BESS (Battery Energy Storage Solution) according to the highest standards, with factory acceptance tests, commissioning, and site acceptance tests. The system can achieve a ramp rate of 100 MW/sec or higher, meeting the requirements of the Dynamic Containment Service in case of large generation or consumption drop-outs. Operational by the end of Q1 2022, the storage system is primarily deployed to provide balancing services to the UK’s national grid.
Benefits
Trina Storage aims to set the standards in bankability, cost-effectiveness, reliability, safety, service, and sustainability. The sustainable storage solution will improve the UK grid’s resiliency, helping integrate intermittent renewable generation. By increasing the renewable energy share in the UK, the project contributes to the net zero target by 2050.
By forging an end-to-end partnership with SMS plc and third parties, Trina Storage can reduce complexity and project delivery times. Its dedicated supply chain and procurement teams enable SMS plc to achieve cost optimization on system level and reduce supply risks, leveraging Trina Storage’s group buying power. Trina Storage only uses tier-one components for highest quality, performance, and safety.
