Generation, storage, grid and the technologies that join them. BARREL's role differs by technology — delivered directly, through specialist partners, or as an area in development — and each project proposal states which applies.
Generation from sun, wind and water, from site selection and resource assessment to grid connection.
Ground-mounted and rooftop photovoltaic plants.
Onshore wind farms and their evacuation systems.
Run-of-river and storage hydro stations.
Floating Solar
Photovoltaic arrays on reservoirs and water bodies, with anchoring and floating structures.
Agrivoltaics
Solar generation designed to share land with farming.
Firm generation that keeps the grid stable alongside variable renewables.
Coal-based thermal stations and their balance of plant.
Gas turbines and combined-cycle plants.
Large reactors and small modular reactors.
Storage that moves energy in time — from minutes of grid support to days of supply.
Grid-scale and behind-the-meter BESS.
Upper and lower reservoirs with reversible turbines.
Molten salt and other heat storage.
Technologies that store energy for many hours or days.
The lines, substations and connections that carry power from plant to consumer.
Extra-high-voltage lines and towers.
Pooling, grid and switching substations.
Grid Connectivity
Connectivity applications, evacuation plans and bay works for new plants.
Distribution Infrastructure
Distribution substations, feeders and local networks.
Grid Modernisation
Upgrades for automation, protection and monitoring of existing networks.
Several technologies designed to work as one system.
Hybrid Power Plants
Solar, wind and storage sharing one connection and one control system.
Renewable Energy Integration
Studies and works that let variable generation join the grid reliably.
Microgrids
Local networks that can run connected to the grid or on their own.
Industrial Power Systems
Captive generation, storage and distribution for industrial sites.
Technologies that are maturing now and will shape the next generation of power projects.
Green Hydrogen
Electrolysis powered by renewable energy, with storage and offtake.
New battery chemistries and storage concepts.
Smart Grids
Sensors, communications and control that make networks observable and responsive.
Monitoring and prediction with BARREL AI and BARREL OS.
