Smarter Grid Solutions has announced they are working with LOTTE Chemical to test and demonstrate LOTTE's Flow Battery Technology in the UK market. The two year project will demonstrate the controllability of a battery when it is paired with other technologies, such as renewables, to provide evidence of the types of ancillary services the pairing of these technologies could offer.

Government Drivers for Energy Storage

The project is funded by the South Korean government and overseen by the Korea Battery Industry Association (KBIA). Innovation in energy storage is also a big driver for the UK, with the UK government recently allocating a £50m budget to encourage innovation in energy storage, demand-side response, and other smart technologies.

The role of Active Network Management in Energy Storage

LOTTE Chemical is currently working on testing a small-scale flow battery at the Power Network Demonstration Centre (PNDC), based in the UK. Smarter Grid Solutions will work with LOTTE Chemical to demonstrate the use of a flow battery within an Active Network Management (ANM) scheme. Energy storage is not a new concept to Smarter Grid Solutions. The company's ANM technology is used to manage and control different energy storage technologies, such as Lead Acid grid scale storage, Lithium Ion grid scale storage, and grid-to-gas electrolysers.

In the coming months, Smarter Grid Solutions will be involved in a live system trial at another test site in Scotland to manage local generation and the flow battery, with the goal of reducing generator curtailment and assessing the potential for other ancillary services.

Euan Davidson, Head of Power Systems at Smarter Grid Solutions said "From our perspective, this is an exciting and timely development. As the role of energy storage in the UK's energy infrastructure develops, the role of wider network control infrastructure will also have to develop to accommodate it. This is one of the areas that Active Network Management and the use of our technology moves beyond generator curtailment. We look forward to our partnership with LOTTE Chemical and the results the energy storage project will deliver."

Next year, the consortium plans to deploy a larger flow battery as part of a community energy project in Scotland.
