Battery Storage as a Flexibility Resource for the Power Grid
The need for grid flexibility is growing—but previous solutions are no longer sufficient.
The energy system is changing rapidly. We are seeing more intermittent generation, more power-intensive industries, and increasingly dynamic electricity consumption. As a result, traditional models for grid planning and operations are being challenged.
A properly sized and controlled battery site can strengthen and enhance the grid without requiring new infrastructure. Batteries can serve as an alternative to capacity upgrades, provide backup in case of faults, and enable new connections for renewable energy and industry. When properly integrated, a battery site can also deliver functions such as voltage and frequency support, black start, and island mode in critical situations.
Powerworks offers two paths forward. We can be your technical partner throughout the entire delivery chain – from project design to commissioning and control. Or we can act as your innovation partner in development projects where advanced grid functionality is the focus. We have the expertise to design, deliver, and operate battery sites that meet both today’s and tomorrow’s requirements.
With our EmPower platform, we ensure that your battery site is connected to the right markets and controlled with high precision. We handle everything from real-time logic to integration with market platforms and grid owner requirements.
