Installed with Sungrow’s BESS 3-hour PowerTitan 2.0, the Bramley project will bolster UK energy security and help support the resilience of the broader grid. The project is connected to the UK grid 132kV electric circuit by the loop-in and loop-out Extra High Voltage (EHV) solution, which optimises line protection and power generation protection. The grid-forming technologies of PowerTitan 2.0 help tackle the power grid challenges of decreasing inertia and damping that comes with increasing penetration of renewable energy sources.
Sungrow: First PowerTitan 2.0 units delivered in Europe
The PowerTitan 2.0 technology also significantly reduces capital expenditure (CAPEX) and operational expenditure (OPEX). The all-in-one AC-DC block design of PowerTitan 2.0, with pre-assembled battery modules and PCS, ensures seamless integration and reduces installation time.
Grid services and wholesale energy trading
With PowerTitan 2.0, the project complies with the UK electricity market codes and actively participates in grid balancing, ancillary services, and wholesale energy trading, ensuring competitive benefits for stakeholders.
