ENERGY STORAGE

Overview

Invest in the key to the energy transition.

Explore the disruptive technology that will be an essential element of the UK’s renewables mix.

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) provide the critical underpinning for inherently volatile wind and solar power: both at utility level, and for business-specific renewable systems.

Key Features

Trust our expertise to identify the potential benefits – then deliver them

1

Co-location

We can model the impact of co-locating BESS with your existing renewable site and seek out ways to maximise grid connections.

2

Onsite use

Our detailed simulations will show you how battery storage can maximise the use of onsite generation and minimise grid import. Using our bespoke optimiser model, we analyse onsite demand and arbitrage options and recommend your best solution.

3

Technology agnostic

An increasing range of battery technologies are available and at we’re well versed in the latest advances. We’re supplier-agnostic and focused on finding the ideal battery solution for your development.

4

Strong connections

Grid space is vital to your project’s success and at Locogen we’ve built long-standing, positive relationships with every UK distribution network manager. Our team have managed many grid applications for BESS schemes, including complex sites co-located with generation and/or onsite use.

Our Services

Our grid experts are here to help you

  • Energy modelling

    See how battery storage can maximise use of generation at your demand site, or minimise curtailment at your generation site.

  • Arbitrage modelling

    Optimise the size of co-located BESS to deliver arbitrage as well as onsite services.

  • Constraints assessment

    Get the full picture on your site’s suitability for a BESS installation, and what capacity would fit on your land.

  • Layout and visualisation

    We’ll develop the best layout with ancillaries and access, and show you exactly what your BESS will look like.

  • Planning consent

    Our Planning and Environment team have consented numerous BESS schemes, and our team are leading the way in easing this process. We’ve made a recent breakthrough on a common and recurring issue around managing BESS site fire risks.

  • Grid connection

    Obtain a new or add-on grid connection offer for your storage project.

  • Project management

    Bring your project to fruition with procurement and construction overseen by our experienced engineering teams.

Recent projects

Energy storage pilot scheme

Locogen led a consortium of companies to assess the techno-economic feasibility of a co-located long duration storage asset (a vanadium redox flow battery). Our detailed feasibility study included grid and land agreements, scoped the planning works required to build out the project in line with Welsh planning guidelines and provided an outline development plan.

Co-located BESS and solar

Locogen provided a critique of several BESS suppliers, comparing their technology offerings, and provided a detailed risk assessment, cost/benefit analysis and ‘route to planning’ document scoping the planning requirements for a co-located lithium-ion BESS development at a 200 MW solar farm in England.
