Why is South Korea implementing a Bess frequency regulation project?

South Korea is in the midst of the world’s largest BESS frequency regulation project. The target is to install 500MW by 2017. In addition to enhancing the efficiency of the grid, installing BESS capacity will reduce KEPCO’s need for readily available spinning reserve capacity.

What topics will be covered in a Bess workshop?

Topics covered include macro-level policy, supply chain dynamics, financing strategies, co-location considerations, safety measures, microgrid insights and more. KEPCO, South Korea’s biggest electric utility, has inaugurated a portfolio of large-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) assets.

How many companies are involved in the Bess project?

In total, 14 companies were involved, including HD Hyundai Electric, Hyosung Heavy Industries, LS Electric, Samsung SDI, LG Energy Solution, and others. HD Hyundai Electric announced the completion and start of operation of its 336MW BESS for the utility a couple of months ago.
