Lindø Offshore Renewables Center (LORC) breaks ground for energy group Ewii's first large battery system. The battery has recently arrived in Lindø, where it will soon be able to deliver system services to Energinet.
- With the battery system on Lindø, EWII can help stabilize the electricity grid because we are available with system flexibility when, for example, weather conditions cause fluctuations in the grid, says Director of Commercial Infrastructure at Ewii, Claus Møller, in a press release.
With a capacity of two MW and 2.2 MWh, the battery on Lindø will be one of the largest in the country when it is put into operation around July 1. The battery is produced by Rolls Royce. It fills a 40-foot container and weighs 36 tons. LORC is very pleased that EWII has chosen to place the battery system at LORC on Lindø. This gives the test center unique access to battery capacity on a large scale.
- For LORC, this is the start of a new business leg, where we will develop and offer test and demonstration services within energy storage. EWII's battery is the first step in this new branch of LORC's business. Going forward, any player will have access to set up batteries with us on Lindø - be it for research, development and demonstration within battery technology, lifetime testing, development and demonstration of business formation or it could be a demonstration of how batteries can be combined with wind turbines or other PtX technologies, says Torben Lorentzen, CEO of LORC.
More even larger batteries on the way
The battery on Lindø is the first step in EWII's new focus on battery systems and energy storage. The other day, the energy group announced that it is investing a total of a quarter of a billion in battery storage systems in several locations in the country.
- New solutions must be found for handling renewable energy, and battery storage systems are one way to do this. We have seen an exciting opportunity in the market, and we are pursuing it, says Claus Møller.
However, the other batteries that EWII is establishing will be even larger. From the autumn, EWII will establish five batteries of 3 megawatts and 3.5 megawatt-hours in various locations in the Triangle area, and on Bornholm next year the group will set up a huge battery energy storage system of a full 30 megawatts and 43 megawatt-hours.
