UK POWER RESERVE PARTNERS WITH FLUENCE TO DELIVER 60MW BATTERY STORAGE FOR UK GRID
In the UK, sales of electric cars have risen 11 per cent on last year and the race is on to develop the necessary charging infrastructure to support this rise. PatSnap, provider of research and
development (R&D) analytics, has found a significant increase in global EV innovation over the past ten years, and predicts that there will be an expected 7,500 patent applications in 2018 – 9.52 per cent relating to charging. Activity has both grown and decreased amongst top applicants in recent years, suggesting that there is still scope for emerging organisations to establish leading positions.

U
K Power Reserve is pleased to announce that it has partnered with Fluence, a global provider of energy storage technology and services, to
deliver the first phase of its 120MW battery storage portfolio. This partnership represents the single largest energy storage portfolio transaction with one technology provider announced in the UK to date. The UK’s leading flexibility provider is starting
construction on the first 60MW of its battery portfolio – a total of 120MW were secured in the 2016 Capacity Market auction. This will provide flexibility and security for UK power markets by delivering much- needed stability to the grid. Fluence will provide three 20MW battery energy storage systems at sites in the Midlands and North West using its Advancion energy storage technology platform. All three sites are expected to be operational during winter 2018/19. UK Power Reserve’s total contracted portfolio
recently broke through the Gigawatt ceiling, one of the largest of its kind globally, with a combination of small-scale, nimble gas-fired power plants and
battery storage facilities located near centres of demand. These flexible, low-carbon assets are more important than ever to support the growth of renewables, providing vital back-up power at its best value. Fluence’s Advancion platform is an industrial
strength energy storage solution designed to provide the highest dependability for long-term operations. Coupled with Fluence’s highly experienced team providing operations and maintenance services to UK Power Reserve, the projects will support system reliability throughout the 15-year duration of the Capacity Market contracts. Advancion is also designed to adapt with changes in the market, providing UK Power Reserve with ultra-fast response flexible assets that will enable the company to offer additional services as the needs of the grid or market conditions change. The partnership brings together extensive industry expertise to deliver long-lasting and reliable energy storage solutions for the UK energy system.
