Abstract :
SIX ADVANCED ENERGY storage systems have been installed at sites in northern England as part of a three-year smart grid project. NEC Energy Solutions (formerly A123 Energy Solutions) has completed commissioning the GSS (Grid Storage Solution) units for Northern Powergrid. In total, they have nearly 2.9MW of power and 5.7MWh of energy storage capacity, and were installed at substations in both urban and rural locations as part of the Customer-Led Network Revolution (CLNR) project, which is part-funded through Ofgem´s Low Carbon Networks Fund.
