Air power
National Grid UK has ordered a compressed-air back-up power unit from a Chester-based alternative-energy company.
The unit, from Energetix Group’s subsidiary Energetix Pnu Power, will provide standby power for switchgear at National Grid’s 275kV switchyard in Capenhurst,
The system will form part of a trial programme to evaluate the performance of the Pnu Power system in providing back-up power in a real-life application on relay and circuit-breaker switching, which requires high levels of system integrity.

Neil Bright, operations director of Energetix Group, said this is a significant milestone for Energetix Pnu Power.
