Grid Integration with Energy Storage to Enable Resilient, Smarter Power Infrastructure
As the UK accelerates toward a low-carbon future, the need for flexible, reliable, and intelligent energy infrastructure has never been greater. At Dale Power Solutions, our Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are at the forefront of enabling seamless grid integration, offering both stability and flexibility to an evolving energy landscape.
Grid integration refers to the ability of distributed energy resources, such as BESS, to connect with and interact dynamically with the national grid. This involves synchronising voltage, frequency, and phase to ensure seamless operation without disrupting grid performance.
As renewable energy adoption increases, so does grid volatility. Battery systems act as a buffer when supply-demand mismatches occur, providing real-time response capabilities that are essential for modern energy systems.
Dale Power Solutions’ BESS solutions are engineered to support both front-of-meter (FTM) and behind-the-meter (BTM) applications, allowing for enhanced control of energy flows and grid services. Our systems integrate advanced power conversion systems (PCS) and energy management systems (EMS) to facilitate:
BESS units can respond in milliseconds to frequency deviations, injecting or absorbing active power to maintain the grid at its operational standard (typically 50 Hz in the UK). This service is essential for balancing intermittent generation from wind and solar sources.
Through intelligent scheduling, BESS units store excess energy during periods of low-demand and discharge it during peak load times. This reduces strain on the grid and can generate revenue via time-of-use (ToU) arbitrage and demand-side response (DSR) programs.
Using smart inverters, BESS solutions supply or absorb reactive power, helping maintain voltage within statutory limits. This is crucial in grid segments with large inductive loads or long radial distribution feeders.
BESS acts as a stable source of energy during total or partial grid outages, enabling the re-energisation of power infrastructure without external supply, a critical function for utilities and mission-critical facilities.
Dale Power Solutions’ BESS integrates into the grid through modular and scalable system architectures comprising:
Bi-directional inverters (PCS) for AC-DC power conversion
EMS platforms for real-time control, forecasting, and dispatch
Communication protocols for interoperability with grid and on-site control systems
Battery Management Systems (BMS) for thermal management, safety, and performance optimisation
This comprehensive architecture ensures our systems are compatible with Grid Code and G99 requirements, delivering robust, certifiable performance in UK grid environments.
Dale Power Solutions' BESS can support grid integration across diverse applications:
Renewable energy co-location: Smoothing generation variability at solar and wind farms
EV charging infrastructure: Managing high-power charging demand on constrained grids
Commercial & Industrial sites: Enabling energy independence, backup power, and cost control
As energy systems decentralise and digitise, battery storage has become foundational to power infrastructure. Dale Power Solutions is committed to delivering turnkey BESS solutions that go beyond energy storage, acting as active grid assets that strengthen resilience, improve flexibility, and support the UK’s Net Zero targets.
