EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
- The electrical distribution networks of the future are going to become much more reliant on intermittent inputs such as wind and solar – and methods must be found so extra output may be added when required
- Grid frequency needs to be kept at a constant value – and this is where grid balancing technology comes in, drawing on energy stored in large banks of batteries connected to the grid
- This eBook explores how to build a grid balancing strategy; with heavy investments already made in UPS systems, constituent battery units at data centre sites could be assigned to grid balancing
