TK Engineering installed TCS-10 CAN switches in an energy storage system (ESS) in the Netherlands. The system can store energy from the grid, ideally when produced by the vast quantities of local renewables, and then supply the grid with stored energy during periods of high demand. This system reduces the need for fossil based balancing plants and when used in conjunction with low-carbon renewables reduce the energy system carbon footprint significantly.
