Sungrow to supply 1.4 GWh 'PowerTitan 2.0' BESS for UK project

Solar inverter and battery storage firm Sungrow has recently inked an energy storage supply deal with two major developers Penso Power and BW ESS for the upcoming Hams Hall energy storage project located in North Warwickshire, England. 

The company has claimed that the deal involves the supply of a comprehensive range of 'PowerTitan 2.0' liquid-cooled energy storage systems to the tune of 1.4 GWh amounting to about 280 sets of battery systems. 

The systems are designed specifically for grid-forming, aided with cutting-edge features such as black start capability, enabling swift intervention when regional power sources disconnect from the grid, thereby promptly restoring power supply, according to the manufacturer. 

Moreover, the Sungrow 'PowerTitan 2.0' systems are adept at mitigating grid frequency and voltage fluctuations, offering millisecond-level inertia support, multi-tiered broadband oscillation suppression, microsecond-level voltage control, and other vital functions. 

This comprehensive suite of features significantly enhances the resilience and stability of the UK's power grid, allowing for efficient and sustainable participation in the ancillary service market over the long term, the company adds. 

It is to be noted that the Chinese BESS maker has already partnered with Penso Power and BW ESS on the supply of a 100 MW/ 330 MWh 'Bramley' project in Hampshire, with the project being first in Europe to use Sungrow's 'PowerTitan 2.0' systems.  

Recently, Sungrow has also signed a supply agreement with SSE Renewables for a 320 MW/ 640 MWh 'Monk Fryston' project situated in the north of England.
