What's new in Dublin's UPS system?
Microsoft replaced its UPS lead-acid batteries in Dublin with lithium-ion batteries, reducing diesel generator requirements. The new BESS also permits regulated participation in EirGrid's frequency-regulation system, which routes electricity to the grid in short bursts. The Eaton UPS and Enel X BESS power the system.
Who is supplying Bess solutions to Keppel DC Dublin 1 & 2?
GridBeyond will be supplying BESS solutions to Keppel DC Dublin 1 and 2 at City West and Ballycoolin, Ireland.
What is a Bess & how does it work?
A BESS stores energy from the utility grid and/or renewable energy sources, and supplies energy either back to the grid or to a load. It can be optimized depending on financial, sustainability, and/or resiliency requirements. Each BESS is distributed energy resource (DERs). It’s an electrochemical device.
What challenges does Ireland's Bess market face?
According to Bobby Smith, head of Energy Storage Ireland (ESI), one of the main obstacles Ireland’s BESS market faces is the lack of route to market for battery operators. “A lot of energy storage has crept under the radar so far in Ireland,” he told ESS News. Developers secure planning quite easily but the route to market is a challenge.
Which Bess projects are in the pipeline?
Two BESS projects are already in the pipeline, with a combined capacity of 8 MWh slated for Ireland and Scotland. These projects are expected to enhance energy resilience and support the integration of more renewable energy into the grid.
