20 energy STORAGE Using our technical expertise we have provided wind turbine integration and SCADA services for compressed air storage in the USA.

21 Ohio battery storage project Battery energy storage Connecting storage facility to the transmission infrastructure ENERGY STORAGE RES are pioneers in the delivery of commercial energy storage schemes. Battery storage allows the utilisation of renewable energy to become more widespread. The increase in renewable energy within the power system creates the need to regulate the injection and removal of power by the second. Battery energy storage corrects the power imbalance more effectively than fossil fuelled thermal resources. Utilising our development, technical and engineering skills combined with those of project management and construction, RES can assist at any stage to deliver the energy storage, on time and budget. Years of experience gained from operating renewable energy projects and understanding the network requirements means we can efficiently integrate and operate your energy storage scheme. We are providing battery energy storage for fast frequency response to the regional transmission organisation for 13 states in North East USA, with a 4MW/2MWh energy storage project. Further projects under development in Canada, the United States and Europe. We have utilised our technical expertise to provide the wind turbine integration and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) programming for the world s first integrated wind / cavern based compressed air storage scheme in the USA. Enabling stored electrical energy to be delivered to the grid without natural gas, providing a carbon free way to store and dispatch wind energy. STORAGE
