The two grid-scale battery vitality storage strategies shall be associated in autumn 2025, aiding Latvia’s synchronization with the continental European power grid.
AST and Rolls-Royce representatives on the positioning of the long-run battery power plant.
Germany-based Rolls-Royce has been awarded a contract to supply two large-scale battery vitality storage strategies to Augstsprieguma tikes (AST), Latvia’s transmission system operator, with a cumulative output of 80 MW and a storage functionality of 160 MWh.
The company’s mtu EnergyPack QG large-scale battery storage strategies, that are based mostly totally on the nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) battery chemistry, shall be used at two locations from autumn 2025 onwards. A 20 MW/40 MWh system shall be put in on the AST substation in Tume in west Latvia and a 60 MW/120 MWh battery storage on the AST substation in Rezekne throughout the east.
The facilities will current the fast and mechanically activated frequency regulation reserves needed for synchronization with the European grid.
By Rolls-Royce, the battery system will current power reserves at significantly decreased costs than the current typical power crops.
“We’re proud to have the flexibility to make a significant contribution to this important and safety-critical mission in Latvia,” said Jörg Stratmann, CEO of Rolls-Royce Power Strategies.”The facility for Latvia shall be our largest battery storage system so far.”
Rolls-Royce has signed a five-year long-term service settlement for the system as part of the settlement. The order additionally accommodates primary contractor firms and setup and commissioning.
Rolls-Royce geared up the Netherlands’ biggest battery storage system in November 2022.
