Transelectrica has completed the integration tests of the battery storage facility in the Balancing Market platform and in the operational control system of the National Energy System.

The storage facility has been qualified for the provision of balancing services and can operate in secondary frequency-power regulation, with automatic control from the National Energy Dispatcher. The data are available on the Transelectrica website, being in the process of improvement. The concept was developed by Transelectrica, with the support of Teletrans, the Company’s subsidiary.

“This first step is fundamental for the national energy sector, with an essential role in supporting the efforts to integrate power plants from renewable sources. We thank you for the support and professionalism demonstrated by Teletrans experts in the integration process and, equally, we thank the investor in the storage facility,” Transelectrica representatives said. “This premiere represents an important step in the sustainable approach to the new challenges of the national electric power system, in the context of the current developments of the sector, to ensure the safety of the system. At the same time, it creates the necessary conditions for investors to access electricity storage units.”
