Wärtsilä will supply a 300MW/600MWh energy storage system under an Engineered Equipment Delivery (EEQ) contract to Zenobē, an electric vehicle fleet and battery storage company, in Kilmarnock, Scotland.The project will be delivered under Great Britain’s National Grid’s NOA Stability Pathfinder programme, which aims to cost-effectively address stability issues in the electricity system created by the increased adoption of intermittent renewable generation. The energy storage system will help grid operators to better balance supply and demand and ensure that the country’s abundant wind generation is not wasted. Wärtsilä’s energy management system, the GEMS Digital Energy Platform, will ease network constraints by importing electricity at times of peak renewable generation.
