A Memorandum of Understanding for the Batwind pilot was signed in Edinburgh
on 18 March between Statoil, the Scottish Government, the Offshore
Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult and Scottish Enterprise.
A NEW battery storage solution for offshore wind energy is to be piloted in
the Hywind pilot park off the coast of Peterhead. Billed as the world’s
first floating wind farm, currently under construction, it is expected to
be commissioned in 2018.
Statoil, the company behind the Batwind solution, said battery storage has
the potential to support the deployment of wind energy by mitigating
intermittency and optimising output to drive efficiency and lower costs.
