Solving grid connection challenges with battery solutions
Solving grid connection challenges with battery solutions
EV fleet adoption in the UK faces a major hurdle. Constraints such as limited distribution network operator (DNO) capacity, delays in grid connections, infrastructure reinforcement costs, and peak demand penalties threaten to inflate timelines and budgets, threatening EV deployment and operational efficiency.
Battery energy storage systems (BESS) offer a solution. By storing off-peak energy or integrating with renewables, batteries can reduce peak load demand and alleviate pressure on constrained grids. This enables faster, more resilient EV charger rollouts without waiting for costly grid upgrades.
In this whitepaper we explore how batteries can alleviate these issues by reducing peak demand, enabling off-peak charging, supporting demand side response (DSR), and facilitating integration with renewables.
