Energy storage

The cost of energy storage technology continues to decrease, however some challenges remain, such as how large should the storage be and how should it be controlled? Deepwater can help maximise the utility of your energy storage asset by, for example limiting export of locally generated electricity and maximising charge. Deepwater is agnostic to the storage type, e.g. batteries, thermal or mechanical.

With the rapid uptake of electric vehicles consumers may expect charging infrastructure to be available at commercial and industrial facilities. This somewhat complicates microgrid operation, as electric vehicle charging can create large loads on the site and energy storage infrastructure. Deepwater can help manage this, for example by selectively charging vehicles which have the highest need first.
