This is called the New Zealand Battery Project and preliminary studies have identified biomass, flexible geothermal energy, and hydrogen as alternatives to a large-scale pumped hydro scheme. . lectricity demand, the country currently turns to thermal generation. This presents a trilemma of needing to solve ene d wind generation, but also some long-duration flexibility resources. These assets sit idle for years at a time and need to be able to deliver large amounts of energy for ew. . A white paper prepared by KPMG and Concept Consulting concludes that continued use of the Rankine units at Huntly Power Station is the most secure and cost effective solution in providing the flexible generation New Zealand needs over the short, medium and long term. Concept Consulting's modelling. . Saft, a subsidiary of French energy giant TotalEnergies, will provide Genesis Energy in New Zealand with a 100MW/200MWh utility-scale battery energy storage system (BESS). Confirmed yesterday (19 September), the 2-hour duration BESS will be installed at Huntly Power Station on the country's North. . EnergyNest Thermal Energy Storage is scalable, durable, and easy to install and operate. However, in some parts of the world, such as New Zealand, lightweight constructions are more popular, due to their ease of construction and their architectural flexibility (3).
