中国储能网讯：日前据悉，通用电气已经英国作为建设其最大规模的电池储能系统的所在地。

通用电气（GE）已经与英国存储和软件Arenko公司建立了合作伙伴关系，建设这个电力容量为41兆瓦的储能项目。

该设施将采用通用电气的电池技术，并将在今年晚些时候投入运营。

这个项目采用商业化运作，Arenko公司将部署能源和访问多个服务和系统需求实现数字化。

该项目旨在缓解英国能源系统的压力，并在最需要提供更均衡、更安全的能源系统时提供灵活性。

通用电气表示，其重点是“建立一个长期的商业可持续电池储存系统，而不依赖于补贴和奖励”。

通用电气能源存储全球商业和市场营销主管Mirko Molinari表示：“储能部署将有助于实时平衡供需关系，避免频率漂移，并支持对电网不平衡的中期响应。它提供的灵活性可以平滑可再生能源的波动性，在需要时提供快速的储备电能，存储多余的能源生成等等。储能将使更有效的系统为消费者提供更可靠的电力供应。”

他补充说，不断变化的消费需求，可再生能源的采用以及供应的安全性正在推动创新能源网络的需求，以提供更高效的电力系统。“随着传统集中式发电的压力越来越大，储能项目对于最大限度地提高发电能力，确保高效的能源利用，提高电网运行效率至关重要。”

Arenko公司首席执行官Rupert Newland表示，“该项目对于解决英国长期的能源安全问题非常重要，有助于向低碳能源的未来迈进。作为英国电网电池系统的领先厂商和运营商，我们很高兴与通用电气建立战略联盟，提供大型电池储能项目。通过我们与顶级企业的合作，为能源行业带来重大、积极和可持续发展的战略的一个良好的示范。”（中国储能网独家编译，转载请注明来源）

GE to build 41 MW battery storage system in UK

GE has chosen the UK as the location for its biggest yet grid scale battery energy storage system.

The company has entered into a partnership with British storage and software company Arenko to build the 41 MW project.

The facility in England will run on GE’s battery technology and will be operational later this year.

It will be commercially operated though Arenko’s software to digitally deploy energy and access multiple services and system needs.

The project is intended to relieve pressure on the UK energy system and provide flexibility at times when it is most needed to deliver a more balanced, secure energy system.

GE said the focus “is on building long-term commercial sustainable battery storage systems, which are not reliant on subsidies and incentives”.

Mirko Molinari, global commercial and marketing executive for energy storage at GE Power, said: “Energy storage will help balance supply and demand close to real time, avoiding frequency drifts and supporting the mid-term response to grid imbalances. The flexibility it offers smooths the fluctuating nature of renewable energy, provides quick reserves when needed, stores excess energy generation and much more. Energy storage will enable a more efficient system for a more reliable supply of electricity to consumers.”

He added that changing consumer demands, increasing adoption of renewable energy and security of supply are driving the need for innovative energy networks to deliver a more efficient power system. “As traditional centralised generation comes under increasing pressure, energy storage projects will be crucial to maximise generation capacity, ensure efficient energy utilisation and improve the operational efficiency of the grid.”

Arenko chief executive Rupert Newland said the project “is very significant in addressing the UK’s long-term energy security concerns, enabling the transition to a low carbon energy future”.

“As a leading owner and operator of grid scale battery systems in the UK, we are delighted to have established this strategic alliance with GE to deliver large scale battery energy storage projects. This is a demonstration of Arenko’s strategy to partner with top tier corporates to make a major, positive and sustainable impact on the energy sector.”
