Dispatch, a Dutch battery developer, is going to construct the Netherlands’ largest stand-alone Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in the port area of Dordrecht. The system will be used for grid stabilization by storing excess energy from renewable sources. The battery, consisting of 144 Fluence cubes will be located on a 6000m² site.
Image: SemperPower. Battery storage developer and operator SemperPower has taken over operations on a 62.6MWh BESS provided by Rolls-Royce in the Netherlands, the largest in the country, it claimed. The 30.7M/62.6MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) project, called Castor, is located in an energy hub in Vlissingen-Oost, a north sea port town.
Prior to that, the largest was a 24MW/48MWh system from another firm Giga Storage. The challenges in the Netherlands‘ grid-scale energy storage market are numerous and well-documented, including a highly congested grid, ‘double-charging’ of energy storage as both consumer and producer and a relative lack of familiarity with energy storage.
The battery storage facility in Moerdijk is the second battery storage facility to be built by RWE in the Netherlands: the company started construction of a battery storage facility in Eemshaven at the beginning of the year with an installed capacity of 35 MW and a storage capacity of 41 MWh.
Featuring a total of 144 Fluence cubes spread across a 6000m² site, the Netherlands’ ‘largest’ stand-alone Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) will on average store the energy supply equivalent for 21,500 households per day.
