Connected to the French transmission network RTE (90 kV), the first phase of Dunkirk’s large-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) is now in operation and provides 24/7 services.
Located on the site of the former TOTAL group oil refinery on the port of Dunkirk (North of France), the system is connected to the extra high voltage electricity transmission network. It will participate in regulating the frequency of the power grid and will support the network during the coldest winter days when it is under voltage and facilitate renewables integration.
This major project will help secure the electricity supply, regulate the frequency of the network and reduce intermittent production, which is specific to renewable energies.
EM-Power Europe is an important platform for us. Here, we show how Omexom is making a tangible contribution to the energy transition. The fact that we are organising our presence at the event together with our international colleagues also highlights the strength of our global network.
This renewed trust confirms our offshore competence and the performance of our teams in Germany and the Benelux countries. Together, we ensure the reliable operation of the substations, contributing to the safe integration of offshore wind energy into the energy system.
With Omexom, we are continuing our collaboration with a partner who has demonstrated comprehensive offshore expertise, high reliability, and a deep understanding of our facilities. This helps us to operate our offshore substations safely and efficiently and to further strengthen offshore wind power generation.
We had to confirm with the funicular technicians that the installation would not cause any operational problems, the client was very interested in this installation, which was not included in the initial plan.
Behind every renewable megawatt lies a distribution grid that must be stronger, smarter, and more resilient. Modernizing MV/LV networks is one of Europe’s most urgent engineering challenges.
As baseload power plants get replaced by wind and solar, the network loses the natural inertia that maintains stable frequency. Renewable energy is intermittent; it…
Omexom Conversion & Storage has successfully installed and commissioned five battery energy storage systems (BESS), totaling 14.8 MW/2h, for ZE Energy at its 77 MW solar park in…
