Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) TSG Ireland delivers advanced grid-connected battery systems that support Ireland''s transition to a low
Soon, SEMO, the operator of the wholesale energy market in Ireland, will allow battery energy storage systems (BESS) to play a much larger role in balancing power across the island. Industry players say the move, introduced on November 13, will benefit both battery owners and grid operators.
Until now, grid-scale batteries in Ireland have mainly supported the power system by providing stability services. Soon, SEMO, the operator of the wholesale energy market in Ireland, will allow battery energy storage systems (BESS) to play a much larger role in balancing power across the island.
This specific battery energy storage system is the largest site of its kind in commercial operation in Ireland and is part of ESB's pipeline of projects, worth up to €300m in investments, that aim to be delivered at sites in Dublin and Cork. This project has a capability of providing 75MW of energy for two hours to Ireland's electricity system.
Ireland's total installed BESS capacity is just under 1 GWh, and as O'Loughlin pointed out, a lot of battery assets are prevented from operating because they are facing permitting and planning stage blocks.
