Subsea 7, FLASC Get BEIS Grant for PowerBundle Offshore Energy Storage System
to our technology development initiatives, and we are extremely proud to have been selected in this pioneering and highly-competitive funding program; one of the first specifically targeting Longer Duration Energy Storage. Beyond the financial support, this also confirms our view that offshore energy storage technologies have a key place in the energy transition, working alongside onshore solutions towards a cleaner and more robust energy system.”The competition will be delivered through two phases. In phase 1, projects will be expected to mobilize their proposed technologies to prepare for potential
Subsea’s Future is Blowin’ in the Wind
from the world’s first commercial floating wind farm. Electricity produced 25 kilometers offshore at the Hywind Scotland wind farm is transported via cables to an onshore substation in Peterhead, Scotland to be stored in the Batwind 1 MW lithium-ion batteries and connected to the grid.Energy storage technologies like batteries and others are expected to grow increasingly important for grid stability in the years to come, especially as the installed costs of battery storage systems continues to fall. Sebastian Bringsvaerd, development manager for Hywind and Batwind, explained that variability of
Call for Abstracts: Small Distributed Ocean Power
for Island Electrification; Size Scale Category: SMALL - 20kW to 250kW: There is a need to generate power for islands and remote coastal locations, 20-250 kW, that currently use diesel generators. Customers include a wide range of islands and remote communities. Topic 4: In-situ Energy Storage Technologies Specific to Topics 1, 2, or 3 Size Scale and Use: There is a need for advances in energy storage technologies covering the various scales for direct energy storage as well as for the smoothing out of the electrical supply from these variable sources; ensuring that the supply and variability
