Kelwin Phase 2 Li-Ion Battery (26MW)

This project also provides DS3 ancillary services to EirGrid, helping to stabilise the grid. Li-ion batteries are superior to most other forms of reserves because they can react very quickly, in less than half a second, to any unexpected disturbances on the grid. The project comprises 6 containerised packages of Li-Ion batteries, along with modular inverters, transformers and ancillary equipment. It was installed by Fluence, a global leader in packaging and operating utility scale storage projects. The Gaothlinnteam assisted in the permitting and grid connection processes, and continues to support the project in its operational phase by monitoring market and regulation changes and ensuring the project is configured and operated to maximise value.
