Here are the biggest battery storage projects across the globe: 1. The Alamitos Battery Energy Storage System. Centrica has selected the German-American company Younicos to design and deliver the lithium-ion battery energy storage systems, which will be completed by winter 2018. 4. Tohoku Electric Power Company 40MW Battery Energy Storage
Energy storage system provider and integrator Younicos originally built and connected the 5MW / 5MWh battery park in Schwerin, a city in northern Germany, in 2014. It was commissioned by utility WEMAG, which has been using the energy storage system to provide frequency regulation and other balancing services to its grid, particularly with
Notrees is a wind farm owned by major utility Duke Energy, with 153MW of turbines, straddling the west Texan counties of Ector and Winkler. Xtreme Power, an energy storage integrator acquired by Younicos in 2013, had executed the battery storage portion of the project a year prior to that, utilising lead-acid batteries.
In June 2018, Younicos and its parent company Aggreko have launched a new microgrids-as-a-service offer that combines solar-diesel hybrid with battery storage. In December 2017, Equinor had placed an order with Younicos for the delivery of a 1 MW/1.3 MWh energy storage system for the 30 MW Hywind floating offshore wind farm in Scotland.
In first-place was Younicos'' combined gas and battery grid services power plant. For battery storage to be able to offer this alone it must be equipped with a lot of storage capacity. The
Younicos Inc. has entered into an agreement with leading solar power supplier OCI Solar Power to provide a turnkey battery storage system at one of OCI Solar Power''s projects in Texas. The system will be the first integrated grid-scale solar-plus-storage project to be deployed in the ERCOT market. • The system is expected come online []

Centrica (UK) Younicos has been selected by Centrica to design and deliver one of the world''s largest battery-based energy storage systems. To be completed by winter 2018, the 49 megawatt (MW) lithium-ion system will respond to fluctuations in electrical demand in less than a second, to maintain electric power frequency and stability.
The company has already installed more than 150 MW of battery storage across the world. It built Europe''s first commercial battery in Schwerin, Germany, and provided the software and controls for UK Power Network''s 6MW Smarter Network Storage project in Leighton-Buzzard. Younicos CEO Stephen Prince said: "With prices for renewable power

Duke Energy is using Younicos controls technology to manage operations for a 36 megawatt Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) at the site of Duke Energy''s 153 MW Notrees wind farm in West Texas. The Notrees BESS, funded in part by a U.S. Department of Energy Smart Grid award, was constructed by Duke Energy in 2012, and is the largest wind
Younicos will work within a new business unit, Aggreko Microgrid and Storage Solutions, which aims to deliver energy-storage-as-a-service, as well as full microgrid "as a service", built on Aggreko''s 9-GW fleet
Karim Wazni, managing director of Aggreko Microgrid and Storage Solutions, told Energy-Storage.news that the "first of its kind" project for Turkey was "particularly exciting," not only as it could help prove the business case for the wider rollout of battery storage in the country to support the reliability of existing grid infrastructure, but also because it could show what is
Available globally, customers will pay Younicos a rental fee for the battery as well as commissioning and decommissioning fees. "The only thing we ask is that once you end the contract, we can keep it on the site for six months because we don''t necessarily want to rotate it back into a warehouse but to redeploy it," Younicos spokesman Phil Hiersemenzel told
Prince is former CEO of German-American battery storage pioneer Younicos, which was sold to microgrid and mobile power systems specialist Aggreko in 2017. More recently, he was on the board of Enerox CellCube, another vanadium flow battery company, and was president in North America for Centrica Business Solutions.
The purpose of the Batwind storage solution is to explore how a battery can help increase the value of electricity produced, and how a battery can best integrate the wind farm into grid. Karim Wazni, Managing Director of Younicos said: "We''re very proud to partner with Equinor and provide our expertise from over 200 megawatts of storage
Younicos has pushed the boundaries of the energy world for more than a decade. In that time they have deployed 220 MW of battery storage capacity in almost 50 projects worldwide. It''s been quite a journey! In 2017 Younicos became part of team Aggreko, first as a 100% subsidiary, then as an integral part of our company.
The battery power plant has a rated power output of 5MW and a capacity of 5MWh and is fully automated. It was built by renewable energy and battery system specialist Younicos, with lithium-ion cells supplied by Samsung SDI. The project has been delivered for the regional subsidiary of utility company WEMAG.
The Y.Cube combines lithium-ion battery blocks with a Younicos-engineered power conversion system (PCS) in a customized enclosure, controlled by the company''s industry-leading intelligent energy storage software. According to James P. McDougall, Younicos Chief Executive Officer, the Y.Cube represents the next generation of integrated storage solutions.
