A project run by German-American company, Younicos, aimed at delivering a 1MW energy storage system to Hywind will install batteries that ‘learn’. The Hywind Scotland development, of which Statoil own a 75% share, is to install the Batwind storage solution project which will look to understand how an energy system operates and holds energy. A set of two modular battery containers will be installed at the Peterhead onshore substation with operations due to begin in 2018. Sebastian Bringsvaerd, head of Hywind Development in Statoil, said: “There is limited knowledge of how to make a battery act based on dynamic information, in order to maximize value of renewable energy.”
