London Energy Storage System: Powering the Future of the Capital
Meet the unsung hero: the London energy storage system. As the UK''s largest electricity consumer, London guzzles 20% of the nation''s power – enough to charge 15 million
Energy storage systems can supply additional power during these peak times, alleviating stress on the grid and reducing the need for expensive infrastructure upgrades. Enhancing Grid Reliability- Energy storage systems contribute to grid reliability by providing backup power during blackouts or grid failures.
Reducing Peak Demand- One of the significant advantages of energy storage systems is their ability to reduce peak demand on the power grid. During periods of high electricity usage, such as hot summer days or evenings when people return home from work, the demand for electricity can surge.
Long Duration Electricity Storage (LDES) facilities provide vital back-up for the renewable power system – working like giant batteries that store electricity created by wind and solar farms, then release it to the grid when needed. LDES includes different ways to store electricity for a long time.
LCP Delta and R egen are firm supporters of the need for longer duration electricity storage, given the prevalence of wind in our future energy system. Both organisations have been working alongside industry to explore the commercial realities of investing in what is a high capex technology and ensuring a suitable policy environment.
