Equinor, and Masdar have developed Batwind, a battery storage system that will store some of the power produced by the Hywind floating wind farm off the coast of Peterhead, Scotland. The 1 MW capacity battery unit is located near Hywind's onshore substation and will connect to the grid. In addition to providing energy storage, this new technology could also be used as an alternative source for renewable energy.

The 1 MW capacity battery unit is located near Hywind's onshore substation and will connect to the grid. Batwind will use algorithms based on data, such as weather forecasts, market prices, consumption and grid services, teaching the battery when to store electricity and when to send it to the grid.
