GABORONE ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM LITHIUM BATTERY
Major projects now deploy clusters of 20+ containers creating storage farms with 100+MWh capacity at costs below $280/kWh. Technological advancements are dramatically improving solar storage
In the case of offshore rigs with hybrid power plants that use energy storage, excess power produced from diesel generators or gas turbines could potentially be stored and used to support and improve operation of the primary energy source.
The long-term success of the offshore oil and gas industry is predicated on reducing costs and minimizing environmental impacts. Low voltage DC power grids coupled with energy storage provide a means to achieve that objective by providing clean, flexible, and dispatchable power.
For example, in a power plant where there have been traditionally three gas turbines, an operator could potentially use two gas turbines with an energy storage solution attached to it. Additionally, batteries can be used to remove the need for load shedding and bridge the gap between one engine failing and another starting up.
The application of energy storage for drilling rigs or PSVs ultimately enables companies to fundamentally change the way they operate assets. A summary of the key benefits is outlined below. Reduced fuel consumption and lower emissions.
