Harnessing renewable energy with battery storage

Batteries will be crucial for stabilising the electricity supply, especially as renewable energy sources like wind and solar become more dominant. By storing excess energy during peak periods and releasing it when demand is high, batteries help maintain a stable and reliable electricity supply for consumers. This will potentially mean lower energy costs as we reduce the need for fossil fuel based peaking plants.

The types of batteries used in our energy storage systems are thermally and chemically stable and are not rated as a health risk. In addition, they are made from materials such as iron, copper, and graphite, which have a lower environmental impact than other battery technologies.

Battery storage systems generate noise from components such as inverters, switchgear, and cooling fans. When planning battery installations, noise calculations and assessments ensure that the Danish Environmental Protection Agency’s (Miljøstyrelsen) guidelines limit values for noise are met. If necessary, noise reduction measures such as acoustic barriers and building structures around noisy elements are incorporated.

Battery storage systems are designed with multiple safety features to reduce the risk of failure. In the unlikely event of a fire, fire detection and prevention systems are installed in each module to quickly handle and mitigate the incident. The battery storage units are also equipped with gas suppression systems to extinguish fires, ensuring the safety of the facility and surrounding areas. In addition, our battery units are strategically placed with sufficient distance between adjacent battery storage systems. This ensures that an accident can be contained within one area and not spread to other parts of the facility.
