Which battery energy storage systems are suitable for Australia's harshest conditions?

Our smartly designed, IP-rated battery energy storage systems (BESS) are adaptable, easy to transport and install, and suitable for Australia’s harshest conditions. Designed to the highest standards, our units can be sized from 1MW to 200MW ensuring flexibility, modularity and redundancy at 11/22/33KV output voltages.

How does South Australia support energy storage projects?

The battery delivers power to the National Electricity Market, providing system security services. The Government of South Australia supports energy storage projects through programs and funding. The $50 million Grid Scale Storage Fund and South Australia’s Virtual Power Plant are key components of the South Australian government’s energy policy.

Why is Australia a good choice for energy storage systems?

Australia has an opportunity to influence further international thinking about the safety of energy storage systems. This also helps Australia’s sovereign reputation as well as our international presence on the BESS front. Classification as critical infrastructure.

Does Australia rely on overseas manufactured equipment for energy storage systems?

Australia is largely dependent on overseas manufactured equipment for energy storage systems. This guidance report consolidates learnings from the literature review, findings from stakeholder consultations, and broader industry knowledge to present a preliminary guide to approaching assessment of grid-scale BESS facilities moving forward.

What are Australian companies doing about battery technology?

Australian companies and research institutions are working to develop and manufacture new battery technologies, and explore thermal energy storage, hydrogen energy storage and other technologies that promise to ofer longer duration, lower degradation, and better sustainability.

How can Australian companies support higher renewable penetration?

Australian companies have developed a range of software platforms that perform energy modelling, forecasting, monitoring, and trading to allow electricity grids to support higher renewable penetration.
