Results: Searching for 'Energy Storage Plants'

The DOE Global Energy Storage Database provides free, up-to-date information on grid-connected energy storage projects around the world and relevant state and federal policies. There is a searchable database on projects and policies, with drill-down capability. In the Projects section, it is possible to drill-down to individual plants, detailing technology (e.g. Vanadium Redox Flow Battery), power, duration and status. This data can be downloaded and used freely subject to conditions of use. Data visualization is also available.

The database of European energy storage technologies and facilities includes: energy storage technologies and their characteristics; front of the meter energy storage facilities in the EU-28, operational or in project, that are connected to the generation and the transmission grid; behind the meter energy storage installed capacity per country. Database and report available.

The data is from tests performed at The University of Sheffield, on a 1MWh/2MW lithium-titanate battery energy storage (BESS) by Toshiba SCiB Technology, within the EPSRC funded Multi-scale ANalysis for Facilities for Energy STorage (Manifest) Project EP/N032888/1. The system is connected directly to the grid through an 11kV feed, located at Willenhall Primary Substation. Interfacing to grid is achieved through a 2.2MVA ABB PCS100 inverter, and a 2.1MVA dry-type transformer with 1:30.55 ratio. The main parameters are related to time-series of grid voltage and frequency, AC and DC voltages and currents, operating conditions (such as for example room temperature), etc.

This catalogue entry was updated on 2021-02-03 to link directly to the data from the calibration test carried out on 2017-03-01. Previously it linked to the top level of the Sheffield BESS test data at https://data.ukedc.rl.ac.uk/browse/edc/power/storage/MANIFEST/Sheffield. The title was updated to include the words "Calibration Test" to differentiate it from other tests carried out with the Sheffield BESS facility. The previous title was "EPSRC ManIfest Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) The University of Sheffield". No changes have been made to the dataset and no other changes have been made to this catalogue record.

The data is from tests performed at The University of Manchester on a commercial 240 kW 180 kWh lithium-ion battery electrical energy storage system (BESS) within the EPSRC funded Multi-scale ANalysis for Facilities for Energy STorage (Manifest) Project (EP/N032888/1).

The experiments were conducted using an Energy Storage System (ESS) in the Smart Grid laboratory at Newcastle University that includes transformers and converters interfacing to the grid, and various energy storage assets. The aim was to demonstrate the control of power flows between the grid and a 90kW / 2kWh supercapacitor bank. Tests were performed to control real power steps (short duration / high power, and long duration / low power) and reactive power steps of the grid-coupled converter. The corresponding power time-series at the supercapacitor bank terminals and the State of Charge (SoC) were recorded and plotted in the accompanying report.

In this experiment the efficiency of an emulated Energy Storage System (ESS) is measured in the Smart Grid laboratory at Newcastle University. Real-time simulation is carried out using a TRIPHASE real-time simulator to model the ESS network, allowing the laboratory hardware to operate as though it is coupled to a real distribution-scale network. The ESS emulator was used to represent the characteristics of three Li-ion battery banks with nominal voltage, power and energy ratings as follows: (i) 200V 1kW 1kWh, (ii) 400V 5kW 5kWh, and (iii) 400V 10kW 10kWh.

In this experiment the response time of an Energy Storage System (ESS) was measured in the Smart Grid laboratory at Newcastle University. Real-time simulation was carried out using a TRIPHASE real-time simulator to model the ESS network, allowing the laboratory hardware to operate as though it is coupled to a real distribution-scale network. The ESS emulator was used to represent the characteristics of a Li-Ion battery with a single string of 50 series cells, each with a nominal voltage of 4 V and a capacity of 200 Ah; these parameters were selected in order to set the nominal voltage, power and energy ratings of the ESS to 200 V, 20 kW and 40 kWh respectively.

UKESTO showcases national energy storage innovation, describing energy storage facilities in the UK and providing data from test beds.

In 2012 the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) funded the Energy Storage Capital Grants call, where fifteen institutions received 30m pounds of funding across five consortia for the development and testing of energy storage technologies that span application areas. The consortia leads were the University of Birmingham, Imperial College, Loughborough University, the University of Manchester, and the University of Sheffield.

In 2016 these institutions secured a 4m pound investment from EPSRC to deliver the Multi-scale Analysis for Facilities for Energy Storage (MANIFEST) project, where the UK Energy Storage Observatory is a major deliverable.
