February 16, 2023

The 8th Energy Storage Summit has expanded this year in line with the growing opportunities for energy storage across the renewable sector. Meet the Powersystems high voltage specialist team on stand 28 to discuss your battery energy storage project.

On the 22 and 23 February at the Leonardo Hotel, London Tower bridge representatives from Powersystems 100-strong specialist renewable energy team, will be available over the two days to discuss;

Discuss your Energy Storage project with Powersystems on Stand 28

  • How we can help you with your design, installation, and commissioning of your high voltage electrical infrastructure for your battery energy storage electrical balance of plant contract
  • How we can help you build out your BESS projects which are being co-located with a variety of renewable energy technologies
  • How we can help you understand the regulations, capacity, and infrastructure
  • How we can help you to provide ICP grid connections to battery energy storage site

Powersystems are actively involved with the most ambitious urban  decarbonisation battery energy storage systems (BESS) initiatives, demonstrating the UK’s commitment to building a thriving low carbon economy

Powersystems high voltage engineers are highly experienced in the design, specification, installation, and commissioning of battery storage electrical infrastructure, enabling the complete BESS installation to be carried out

Grid Connection – From Application to Energisation

As an Independent Connection Provider (ICP), Powersystems have been providing grid connections across all of the distribution areas of the UK.

We have carried out many grid connections for a varied clientele, ranging from Data Centres, Industrial Customers, Formula One Racing Teams, Health Trusts, Water Industry, Major Film Studio/Visitor Attractions and the Renewable Energy Sector.

Under our full scope of National Electricity Registration Scheme (NERS) accreditation we are able to undertake connection design work, cable installation, cable jointing, substation design and construction, switch gear and transformer installation and testing and commissioning services.

We have civil construction capability which enables us to offer clients a ‘turnkey’ connection service to include trenching works, directional drilling, substation building, construction, and design from small 11 kV substations up to 132 kV primary substations

We also offer a grid connection ENA application and a feasibility study service through our engineering administration department, where Powersystems will deal with all aspects of your application and liaise with the DNO on your behalf.

Whether an industrial & commercial, generation or Battery Energy Storage Scheme Powersystems can provide a competitive grid connection offer.

Our team of engineers and support staff manage the entire connection process from initial application, design, construction and commissioning through to final energisation and adoption. As an ICP, Powersystems have been assessed and accredited nationally by Lloyds register to carry out:

  • Project Management
  • Cable laying (LV, 11 kV, 33 kV, 66 kV, 132 kV)
  • Cable jointing (LV,11 kV, 33 kV, 66 kV, 132 kV)
  • Substation installation (11 kV, 33 kV, 66 kV, 132 kV)
  • All associated civil engineering works including excavation, cable laying and back-filling.
