BATTERY ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM (BESS)

WHO IS THE APPLICANT?

  • UK Company dedicated to Energy Storage Development.
  • Based in the UK and Ireland.
  • Many years of experience in initiating and developing new
    renewable energy projects in the UK.
  • Delivering over 70MW of Energy Storage for Scotland.

Our Live online Event is live from 5pm – 8pm on Thursday 7th August. Use live chat at bottom right of screen.

WHY IS BATTERY STORAGE IMPORTANT

  • Scotland is aiming to achieve net-zero by 2045.
  • Intermittent renewable energy generation means we still have to
    rely on fossil fuel generation.
  • Battery Projects let us store excess renewables energy until it is
    needed – plugging the gap.
  • By 2050, according to National Grid ESO, we may require up to
    40 GW of energy storage.
  • New energy storage capacity is encouraged by the Scottish
    Energy Strategy 2018 in order to hasten the adoption of storage
    innovation and deployment across Scotland.

LOCATION

  • The location is approximately 1.54km to the main Dyce Substation Grid 132kV Supply Point.
  • There is available grid capacity at this location.
  • There are very few suitable locations in Scotland such as this
  • This location minimises the amount of connection
    infrastructure required which is better for the environment and
    means lower embodied carbon emissions.
  • The application site is located on land at Goval Farm and west
    from Whitestripes Road, to the north of Dyce.
  • The proposed site is approximately 1 hectare (the size of a
    football pitch) and currently consists of low quality agricultural

    land.

SITE ELEVATIONS

  • Containerised battery storage facility (38 x containers) with up to 33 MW of energy storage.
  • Circa 7.8-meter-long containers at a height of  approx. 2.6 meters.

SITE LAYOUT

  • Containerised battery storage facility (38 x containers) with up
    to 33MW of energy storage.
  • Circa 7.8-meter-long containers at a height of approx. 2.6
    meters.
  • An access track, electricity meter building, fences, and
    containers housing batteries and related equipment would make
    up the development.
  • Stores extra grid generation in reserve – returns electricity to
    the grid as necessary. Allows more green energy to be added to
    grid mix.
  • This balances the grid’s supply and demand.
  • The existing hedgerows and trees will be retained and a belt of
    new planting of native trees is proposed along the roadside to
    screen the development.
