Is it possible to boost existing power plants?
Power plants use diesel generators to run turbines. Due to its fast response, the energy storage system can be used as an alternative to a black start diesel generator.
Regulation capability using a battery energy storage system (BESS) is significantly faster (< 1 s) than what can be achieved with a fossil fuel power plant.
The customer saves on diesel maintenance costs, saves time and improves reliability, helping you increase your revenue.
Given the rising price of frequency contracts, operators can earn significant revenue from a firm frequency response (FFR) service.
In this way, batteries support decarburization by replacing CO2-emitting diesel engines.
Power plant operators can create additional business opportunities by offering greater flexibility in regulation.
