Energy Storage System designed in Ukraine by KNESS at testing and commissioning phase

Energy Storage System by KNESS - the first industrial energy storage system created in Ukraine- is currently in testing and commissioning mode.

During this time, engineers will check the correctness and reliability of all its individual devices and complexes, and will study the algorithms of the software operation that controls the system and its operation as a whole. Next step is preparation for certification in order to obtain the status of ancillary service provider.

This is the first industrial storage fully developed, designed and manufactured in Ukraine by KNESS Group. The entire intelligent system of the ESS prototype is 100% KNESS's in-house development.

“Energy Storage System, with a power capacity of 1 MW and a capacity of 1 MW, consists of battery clusters, which are the result of the work of the power electronics laboratory of KNESS RnD Center, which lasted about a year. All intelligent systems of these modules are in-house development. They perform the functions of balancing the cells’ charge within the modules, monitoring and controlling all processes within the cluster,” comments Volodymyr Holodiuk, Head of Power Electronics Department, KNESS RnD Center. 

KNESS Group is planning to apply this solution in the market of ancillary services of the integrated power system of Ukraine with the service of primary frequency regulation, purchasing electricity on the dayahead, intraday and balancing markets in order to test the regulatory model.

Implementation of the energy storage system is a strategically important task for our country. This is a way to increase the flexibility of the integrated power system of Ukraine, which further will increase the generation of clean electricity from renewable energy sources.

KNESS Group is an international group of companies born in Ukraine, which develops technologies and implements renewable and traditional energy projects. KNESS covers the entire cycle of clean energy supply: from design, construction of solar and wind power plants to the manufacture of equipment and components, operational and technological maintenance and electricity supply. KNESS has its own center of innovative and technological developments (RnD center).
