battery benefits
Store your power
We provide Battery Energy Storage Solutions (BESS) for businesses, as well as utility scale solutions for the grid.
Olympus Power also provides utility scale battery storage that can either be standalone or co-located with renewables, such as solar and wind.
The BESS imports grid power at times of low cost, and exports under contract with National Grid and the DNOs, providing balancing services for the grid, helping its stability. These service contracts are paid differing levels of premium depending on the requirements.
Batteries help reduce the grid constraints, enabling greater import and export capacity. Read more about our solutions for grid restraint here.
Time shift your energy
Use the renewable energy you generate to the time when the energy you need it
Uninterrupted power
Batteries can create a UPS (uninterruptable power supply) where you needs resilience against brown outs and black outs
Generate income
Batteries can provide grid services such as frequency response, capacity market etc – providing a revenue stream
Reduce energy costs
Reduce red zone charges for using the grid – instead use battery power at the most expensive times of the day
