PSW Power & Automation’s battery pack stabilises power grids
- Published 14 September 2023; updated 16 April 2026; estimated reading time 2 minutes. Listed as globally available under Battery / Integration and Energy / Power supply.
- PSW Power & Automation’s BQ-G is a modular battery pack for large-scale energy storage. It stores surplus renewable electricity and releases it when needed. Installations can be placed at generation sites, substations or distribution points depending on the grid service required; the page describes the system as flexible and scalable.
- Functions described include grid balancing, frequency and voltage support, peak management and backup power. The article argues storage can smooth intermittent wind and solar output, reduce curtailment and reliance on fossil-fuel generation, and maintain supply during technical failures or severe weather and other disruptions.
- Market context cites a European projection of at least 95 GW of grid-scale battery storage by 2050 compared with 5 GW installed at the time of the cited source, representing more than EUR 70 billion of investment. The page reports that shortly after launching the battery pack PSW secured two Swedish grid-scale projects, with Uddevalla Energi and Jönköping Energi.
- The BQ-G is part of PSW’s broader electrification and renewable-energy portfolio, which the page links to mobile batteries and mobile DC fast chargers for construction sites, plus shore power and energy-control solutions.
- Linked to SDG 7 (Affordable and clean energy) for integrating more renewables and SDG 11 (Sustainable cities and communities) for grid resilience.
