Field Energy Storage System

Energy storage systems allow energy consumption to be separated in time from the production of energy, whether it be electrical or thermal energy. The storing of electricity typically occurs in chemical (e.g., lead acid batteries or lithium-ion batteries, to name just two of the best known) or mechanical means (e.g., pumped hydro storage).

The use of ESS is crucial for improving system stability, boosting penetration of renewable energy, and conserving energy. Electricity storage systems (ESSs) come in a variety of forms, such as mechanical, chemical, electrical, and electrochemical ones.

Energy storage posted at any of the five main subsystems in the electric power systems, i.e., generation, transmission, substations, distribution, and final consumers.

Energy storage systems (ESS) have become essential components of modern power grids, providing solutions to a wide range of issues associated with the increased integration of renewable energy sources and the complexity of electrical networks.

The sizing and placement of energy storage systems (ESS) are critical factors in improving grid stability and power system performance. Numerous scholarly articles highlight the importance of the ideal ESS placement and sizing for various power grid applications, such as microgrids, distribution networks, generating, and transmission [167, 168].

At Field, we're accelerating the build out of renewable energy infrastructure to reach net zero. We are starting with battery storage, storing up energy for when it's needed most to create a more reliable, flexible and greener grid. We're developing, building and optimising a network of big batteries supplying the grid.
