Merus™ ESS in 20 kV microgrid and national Frequency Regulation Reserve markets
MerusTM ESS helps distribution center combine solar panels and electricity markets.The challenge of the distribution center is to manage the indoor temperature reliably and efficiently. The energy management system of the distribution center utilizes both renewable solar energy produced by their solar panels and energy purchased from the electricity market. Merus Power supplies energy storage to ensure efficient and uninterrupted co-operation of these energy sources.
Operation as a part of microgrid
A 2.6 MW / 1.55 MWh 20 kV Li – ion battery energy storage system provides buffer for excess solar production for later use and enables emergency diesel generators’ (2×1300 kVA) network connection in real-time. The energy storage also executes a peak shaving where maximum peak power demand is compensated from the storage, so the power intake from the network will be stabilized. The energy storage enhances the power quality and minimizes the losses in different electrical components, such as transformers, cables etc. It also extends the lifetime of different electrical devices and components.
The energy storage is participating to the well-paid national frequency regulation reserve markets (FCR) and also bridges the emergency generators to the markets.
