Smart Energy technologies – Voltage Optimisation, Battery Energy Storage, UPS & Low-Loss Transformers
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)
Battery energy systems have a wide variety of uses such as they can be used to realise the full benefits of CO2 reduction technologies, like on-site solar and wind power generation, Electric Vehicle charging and feedback of power to the grid.
A BESS can be used to replace a UPS system & unlike traditional UPS systems our BESS also creates the option to generate extra revenue through grid services.
We are the only Battery Energy Storage company to achieve HTM (Health Technical Memoranda) compliance for NHS installations & the only company to install a Battery Energy Storage System and UPS for the NHS to date.
Voltage Optimisation
Optimising your voltage, will reduce your commercial energy use and costs as well as lowering your carbon footprint and CO2 emissions at the same time. It could also save on costly repair bills for your electrical equipment.
Transformers
Transformers play a critical role in the energy infrastructure of the UK as a whole, as well as that of many individual organisations. We are the UK's largest manufacturer of UK-manufactured Super Low-loss amorphous core transformers.
