KORE Power supplies products for 10MW/20MWh battery energy storage system projects
U.S. battery manufacturer KORE Power has signed a supply agreement to provide battery products for a 10MW/20MWh battery storage project developed and deployed by ABB and U.K. clean energy supplier Ecotricity, according to foreign media reports.
The battery energy storage system (BESS) will be installed in 2023 at a 6.9MW established capacity wind farm operated by Ecotricity in Gloucestershire, U.K. KORE Power will supply its high energy density lithium-ion batteries for the ABB deployment. The batteries are fully certified to UN 38.3, U.L. 1973 and IEC 62619 and meet U.L. 9540A standards.
KORE Power said the project is a crucial step for the company in the fast-growing U.K. energy storage market. Based in the U.S., KORE Power is currently building a 12 GWh per year battery super plant in Arizona, increasing the company's capacity from 2 GWh to 6 GWh.
The company also recently formed KORE Solutions, a full-service energy storage integrator, through the acquisition of Northern Reliability, a developer of energy storage projects.
ABB's MAX battery storage system, deployed in Gloucestershire, U.K., will be integrated with Ecotricity's innovative grid platform, using the company's proprietary optimization model to dispatch battery storage systems based on power system demand.
KORE Power said the project is designed to provide a substantial addition to both companies' renewable energy portfolios and to highlight the potential for short-term, rapid response technologies such as battery storage systems to add additional stability to the grid.
