Clarke Energy - Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)

Watch this animation video to find out how installing battery energy storage can help your business unlock new economic opportunities, improve site energy resilience and generate CO2 savings.

Investing in energy storage technology allows businesses create additional revenues, whilst promoting renewable energy enablement, offering a viable solution across a variety of applications.

Clarke Energy is a multinational power generation business, delivering complex energy schemes backed by strong balance sheet and aftersales service support. We work with a range of different battery energy storage system assemblers and can deliver them as part of a grid connected energy storage plant or a behind the meter hybrid or microgrid application.

Adaptive Integration
BESS can be deployed in parallel with other technologies to flexibly add any assets to a hybrid energy system.

Peak shifting
Peak shifting is the ability to use generated electricity at a time when electricity demand charges are high to reduce energy bills. During times of high supply and low demand, the surplus energy generated can be stored for future use through the charging / discharging of batteries. This ‘shift’ in peak energy generation is known as peak shifting and allows for the most efficient use of the renewable energy sources.

Demand side response
Financial payments are often available for users who can change their electricity demand at short notice. Demand side response is where an electricity consumer reduces their consumption of electricity from the network at specific times. Alternatively, a network operator may penalise an electricity consumer from drawing electricity from the grid at specific times, or based upon the maximum import of electricity from the network.

Peak shaving
Peak shaving, is a strategy for eliminating demand spikes by reducing electricity consumption via energy storage. Through monitoring of grid behaviour, batteries can be charged by the grid at periods of low demand and low costs, then discharged to site facilities when grid electrical costs are high. This allows businesses to pay the cheapest electricity rates and save significant amounts of money on their utility bills.

Black start / island mode
Countries with unstable grid power and frequent outages are often required to operate without a grid connection. Black start is the capability for the battery to recover a power plant in seconds during an unforeseen interruption. Energy storage is ideally suited for black start application as they can independently re-energise the grid and can be used simultaneously with other sources of back-up power such as INNIO Jenbacher engines.

Clarke Energy’s flexible approach to energy solutions allows us to combine the benefits of instantaneous battery response with the longevity of a gas engine, whilst also balancing with renewable power generation for complete site optimisation.

Battery energy storage systems can be deployed as part of a hybrid power plant in parallel with other technologies such as solar wind, heat pumps, thermal stores. These hybrid systems can be managed by an advanced microgrid control and optimisation systems such as the Heila EDGE platform.
