The technology group W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 has signed multiple energy storage contracts with SMC Global Power Holdings Inc. through its subsidiary, Universal Power Solutions Inc., in the Philippines during 2019-2020. The first two projects, Integrated Renewable Power Hub-Toledo and BCCPP, Limay, Bataan, have achieved final commissioning in May. The projects have a capacity of 20 MW \/ 20 MWh and 40 MW \/ 40MWh respectively, and are part of the earlier announced<\/a>\u00a0energy storage orders.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

These are the first energy storage systems supplied by W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 to the Philippines. The projects are delivered on an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) basis, and include W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4\u2019s propriety software and hardware solutions. The systems comprise the company\u2019s\u00a0GridSolv Max<\/a>\u00a0system, a standardised energy storage solution that provides flexible and modular storage for the core hardware assets of the systems, including the batteries, a safety and fire system, and inverters, alongside the advanced\u00a0GEMS Digital Energy Platform<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur partnership with SMC Global Power, a company with technical experience in battery energy storage systems, has enabled us to reach this stage and be ready for operation in record time. This also further demonstrates W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4\u2019s EPC capabilities in the region, as well as our ability to operate under the challenging restrictions set by the pandemic. These projects showcase our long-term commitment to be present in the Philippines and to continue delivering optimised solutions that support the energy transition in Southeast Asia,\u201d commented Kari Punnonen, Director, Australasia, W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 Energy.<\/p>\n

W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 is enabling the transition towards a 100% renewable energy future by designing and building flexible systems that integrate renewable energy sources, thermal assets and energy storage. In 2018, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) committed to meeting 23 percent of its primary energy needs from renewables by 2025. The region aims to leverage its abundant wind and solar resources and reduce its reliance on fossil fuels, especially as grid systems are developing and economies growing. W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4\u2019s energy storage projects will contribute to the reliability necessary to support Southeast Asia\u2019s transition to carbon-free resources.<\/p>\n

W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4\u2019s\u00a0GEMS<\/a>\u00a0Digital Energy platform dynamically manages the integration of intermittent renewables, thereby enabling the grid to become more responsive and stable. The GEMS grid applications include voltage and frequency regulation, reactive power support, spinning reserve, ramp rate optimisation, renewable energy output smoothing, and energy arbitrage.<\/p>\n

Reaching this important milestone in the project execution is another endorsement of W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4\u2019s delivery capabilities. W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 has a strong presence in Southeast Asia with a total installed capacity of over 9,000 MW, of which 2,000 MW were executed as EPC deliveries, including approximately 300 MW of contracted energy storage systems.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
