Trina Storage Elementa Chosen by Econergy for their First 50MW/102 MWh Battery Project in the UK

Trina Storage will deploy the Swangate project in consortium with G2 Energy, the leading high voltage electrical and civil engineering services provider.

Trina Storage and G2 Energy have established a strong partnership having commissioned several utility scale BESS projects in the UK. The joint efforts will also be made this time, supporting Econergy's firm pipeline of nearly 2.6 GWh storage projects in the UK.

Building on 25 years of PV manufacturing experience, sizeable investments in battery cell R&D as well as strong engineering and service capabilities, Trina Storage is all set to deploy a top-of-the-class battery storage system solution featuring their latest product Elementa.

The system will provide a range of system security and reliability services to the UK national grid following its commercial operation expected in early 2024.

Elementa is a flexible, safe, and high-performance grid scale battery energy storage system incorporating Trina's in-house technology and innovative design. The battery system is optimized for enhanced lifetime, superior system performance and maximized returns.

This new technology is packed with proactive safety features such as a unique bi-directional liquid-cooling system and full-map aerosol-based fire suppression system to ensure any risks are eliminated. The tailored 3-level Battery Management System provides real-time monitoring and detection, enabling advanced safety mechanism.

The exclusive smart plug-in concept and busbar connections help minimize cable connections and onsite civil works, further adding flexibility to the solution.

Terry Chen, Head of Overseas Storage at Trina Storage said, "We have invested heavily to develop our in-house utility scale LFP battery storage system. The Swangate battery project is the first deal featuring our vertically integrated product Elementa in the UK. As part of this project, Trina Storage will deliver a fully integrated BESS solution with world-class safety standards and capabilities built into every aspect of system design and delivery. We are very pleased to be working with Econergy and G2 Energy to deliver this project successfully and many more in future.
