Saft to deliver 200MWh BESS at New Zealand''s biggest electricity

The BESS will become Saft''s third utility-scale BESS in the New Zealand market. One of these is the 100MW/200MWh system provided to state-owned energy company Meridian Energy, set to be developed near New Zealand''s northernmost city, Whangārei. Saft''s track record in delivering BESS projects in New Zealand played into the reason why

The five attributes of an ideal BESS site | Shell Energy

If your site already has solar implemented on it, the impact of these import and export limits is reduced as there is high potential for the BESS to charge from excess solar and discharge when the site needs more power. A BESS installation actually compliments solar at any site by storing excess solar generation in the middle of the day for use

What are the Essential Site Requirements for Battery Energy

Proper stormwater management is an often-overlooked but critical part of BESS site design. Given that energy storage systems are typically installed in larger, open spaces, it''s essential to manage how rainwater will flow across the site to prevent flooding, erosion, and water damage to the infrastructure.

The Relaunch of Erskine within the Dale Power Solutions Portfolio

Brian Cockerill, a Mechanical Design Engineer at Dale who joined the company in 1974, reflected on the relocation to the Eastfield site: "I started my career at the Erskine Newby site, and early on, I was part of the team responsible for moving to the new Eastfield site. I recall moving everything ourselves with the help of Fisher Transport
