South East Energy Agency has been shortlisted for 2023 SEAI Energy Awards in the Innovative Deployment of Renewable Energy category for its Battery Energy Storage System project with James Dairy Farm and Zhyphen.
Now in it’s 20th year, the SEAI Energy Awards celebrates and recognises individuals and organisations that are leading the way with innovative sustainable energy solutions and practices. the_date()
“We are proud to partner with Zhyphen and James Dairy Farm, and are delighted that the project has been shortlisted as part of the 2023 SEAI Energy Awards”
The South East Energy Agency (SEEA) is dedicated to promoting sustainable energy practices and fostering a clean and efficient energy future in the south-eastern region.
The project, led by South East Energy Agency, consisted of deploying an innovative Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) tailored for James’s dairy farm in Kilkenny, in partnership with Zhyphenn as part of the Interreg STEPS project. The BESS enables time shifting of energy usage, providing cost savings through efficient energy management and acting as a single-phase emergency backup power supply during grid outages.
- The estimated lifetime renewable energy generated or enabled through this project is a 35-40% electrical energy cost savings over the project’s 15-year lifetime.
- This project stands out due to its flexibility in energy management, emergency backup power supply, cost savings, scalability for future expansion, integration of multiple renewable energy sources, and off-grid capability, making it an exceptional battery energy storage system technology in the field.
- These unique features provide enhanced control, resilience, and efficiency, making it a standout technology in the field of battery energy storage systems. The BESS solution offers flexibility in managing energy usage through time shifting. This capability to shift energy usage based on tariff rates sets it apart from traditional storage solutions. In the event of a grid outage, the BESS provides a single-phase emergency backup power supply. This resilience distinguishes it from other storage systems that may not have dedicated backup power capabilities.
