Germany-based Rolls-Royce has been awarded a contract to produce two large-scale battery power storage programs to Augstsprieguma tikls (AST), Latvia’s transmission system operator, with a cumulative output of 80 MW and a storage capability of 160 MWh.
The corporate’s mtu EnergyPack QG large-scale battery storage programs, that are based mostly on the nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) battery chemistry, can be used at two places from autumn 2025 onwards. A 20 MW/40 MWh system can 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 within the east.
The services will present the quick and routinely activated frequency regulation reserves wanted for synchronization with the European grid.
In keeping with Rolls-Royce, the battery system will present energy reserves at considerably decrease prices than the prevailing typical energy crops.
“We’re proud to have the ability to make a big contribution to this vital and safety-critical challenge in Latvia,” stated Jörg Stratmann, CEO of Rolls-Royce Energy Techniques.”The power for Latvia can be our largest battery storage system so far.”
As a part of the settlement, Rolls-Royce has signed a five-year long-term service settlement for the system. The order additionally contains normal contractor companies in addition to set up and commissioning.
Rolls-Royce equipped the Netherlands’ greatest battery storage system so far in November 2022.
