The first battery energy storage system deployed to help stabilise the electricity grid in Turkey could help show the country’s energy sector that more rapid uptake of renewable energy can be feasible and cost-effective. Scotland-headquartered multinational power solutions company Aggreko has recently completed work on a project in the north of Turkey, installing a 500kW / 500kWh lithium-ion battery storage system near a substation which will help local grid infrastructure near the town of Alaca to deliver reliable electricity, smoothing out peaks in supply and demand.
