Electricity grids are facing unprecedented threats to their stability and capacity to deliver what their customers need. The impact of climate change, an increasing share of intermittent renewable energy sources and increased demand from electric vehicles and artificial intelligence all pose challenges to existing electricity systems globally.
A changing defence and security landscape including cyber and physical threats to critical infrastructure add to these challenges.
The traditional top-down infrastructure investment model will take decades to respond to the change factors describes above and is not keeping up with the needs of many customers with grid upgrades often taking many years to implement and grid stability margins reducing.
Local, long-duration energy storage enables customers to make the most of the grid connections they have, unlocks growth in local renewables and adds resilience to customer operations quickly. Keep Energy Systems can provide local energy storage using robust industrial equipment that can be relied upon for decades to come.
The current low-voltage electricity grid is not equipped to handle the rapid adoption of electric vehicles which will require fast charging infrastructure.
Keep Energy Systems’ technology gives up to 4x the charging capacity from the same grid connection, reducing costs and making electric fleets possible sooner. End users of Keep’s technology will also save on grid connection upgrade costs, be able to maximise their use of cheaper and greener sources of electricity, and participate in revenue-generating grid stability services.
Mining operations particularly face high energy costs well above those for typical grid-connected energy users, to transport fuel and run diesel generators.
Keep Energy Systems enables heavy industry companies to reduce the dependence on fossil fuels and the environmental impact of these industries through maximising the self-use of local renewables (and therefore power generation fuel savings), turning intermittent energy sources into dispatchable power.
For microgrid developments and off-grid communities, energy storage plays a key role in the successful integration of renewable sources to prevent outages.
Keep Energy Systems supports the reliable, resilient, and cost-effective operation of microgrids. Our high-capacity energy storage system helps to balance generation and load, integrate intermittent renewables, and provides an opportunity for earning additional revenue through grid services.
As increasing levels of renewables are integrated into the electrical system, operators will need to rely on longer-duration storage to balance energy delivery.
Keep Energy Systems helps renewable plant operators to address the intermittency issues of renewable energy and keep capture rates high. In the process, energy storage can also help plant operators create new revenue streams and maximise plant profitability.
