June 2023 GB Connections Reform
As the Electricity System Operator (ESO), we are responsible for the process by which both generators and large-scale demand users connect into the electricity transmission system. We recognise and share in the frustration of many in the energy sector that there is a long and slow-moving queue of projects seeking to connect.
EU''s Grid Infrastructure Needs 200 GW Battery Storage: Report
The report suggested that achieving this required the development of 200 GW of battery storage capacity within the EU. However, existing hurdles, reportedly include sluggish growth in flexibility capacity, might result in a shortfall, with predictions indicating that EU storage capacity could fall below 130 GW by 2030. The report highlighted a
Energy Storage Integration in European Markets | Current Sustainable/Renewable Energy
Energy storage was considered in many studies a support for photovoltaic systems and various other applications in the distribution grids. It was shown in [] that there is a large potential for distributed battery storage systems, with conclusion that grid planners and policymakers should start considering them a system asset.. However,

Energies | Free Full-Text | Effects of Energy Storage Systems Grid Code Requirements on Interface Protection Performances
The ever-growing penetration of local generation in distribution networks and the large diffusion of energy storage systems (ESSs) foreseen in the near future are bound to affect the effectiveness of interface protection systems (IPSs), with negative impact on the safety of medium voltage (MV) and low voltage (LV) systems. With the scope of
Review of Codes and Standards for Energy Storage Systems | Current Sustainable/Renewable Energy
Purpose of Review This article summarizes key codes and standards (C&S) that apply to grid energy storage systems. The article also gives several examples of industry efforts to update or create new standards to remove gaps in energy storage C&S and to accommodate new and emerging energy storage technologies. Recent
