Our Technologies and Smart Energy Solutions
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)
PROVING PROJECT ENERGY SECURITY AND FLEXIBILITY
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.
Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS)
Powerstar UPS solutions are a combination of a highly sophisticated Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) and a control system. It features ultra-fast switching to connect the battery to your site supply
Energy Managemnt Software
Powerstar’s power and energy management software empowers you to make smart decisions about your site and your energy by monitoring and managing your energy usage.
