BW ESS and Sungrow have announced the start of commercial activities of the Bramley Battery Energy Storage System (Bess), a project of 100 MW/331MWH in southern England.
Sungrow supplied the battery units for the project and supplied the 3-hour duration of the Powertitan 2.0 company. Sungrow has concluded deals with other developers to provide them with this Powertitan 2.0 units, including for the 1.4GW Thorpe Marsh Bess by Fidra Energy and 500 MW West Burton C Bess. The Thorpe Marsh Bess recently received a building permit through Doncaster Council and is located at the location of a former coal -fired power stations.
Moreover, this project is not the first time that Sungrow and BW ESS collaborate, because the two companies were part of a delivery agreement for the Hams Hall Energy Storage project in North Warwickshire, England, a 350 MW/1,750MWH Bess project by Penso Power Door Penso Power and luminous energy and financed by BW ESS.
“This is a milestone moment for BW ESS ‘UK rollout and a remarkable project in the context of the energy transition of the UK,” said Erik Strømsø, CEO of BW Ess. “Bramley is a state-of-the-art, groundbreaking project tailored to our mission to unlock the value of energy storage.”
Shawn Shi, president of Sungrow Europe, added: “We are proud to work with BW ESS on this groundbreaking project. The Bramley Bess is an example of our dedication to promoting solutions for clean energy that not only supports the stability of the net, but also contribute to a more resilient and sustainable future of energy. “
Prior to the development of this project, Sungrow carried out what the claimed the world’s largest Real-World fire test of BESS units was. As reported by our sister site News for energy storage, Sungrow has set four 5MWH battery storage units using its Powertitan 2.0 system, by activating a thermal-running event on the fully charged units. Although every unit burned more than a full day, there was no spread of fire between units.
Last fall, BW ESS announced that it had been merged with British company Penso Power, who had previously worked a number of deals together. Before this deal, BW Ess was already the most important stakeholder in Penso Power, and the merger saw BW Ess acquire the remaining shares in the company. The combined pipeline of both existing BW ESS projects and the taken over Power Power Power Power Power Totals around 5GW, spread over the United Kingdom, Sweden and Australia.
