Battery energy storage systems
Plan battery storage
around the job
it needs to do.
A practical starting point for utilities, renewable developers and commercial energy teams evaluating battery storage.
01 / Applications
Where storage fits.
Start with how the battery will be used. That determines what power it needs to deliver, how long it needs to run, and which project constraints matter most.
Utility & grid operators
Deliver power when the grid needs it.
Evaluate shifting energy into evening peaks, meeting capacity obligations, or providing grid services where market rules allow.
Start with these inputs
- Import and export limits at the connection point
- Required discharge window and dispatch frequency
- Market eligibility and availability obligations
Renewable developers
Move generation into a more useful window.
Pair storage with solar or wind to shift delivery, manage export constraints, or meet a contracted generation profile.
Start with these inputs
- Generation profile and periods of curtailed output
- Charging source and shared interconnection limits
- Delivery windows under the offtake agreement
Commercial & industrial sites
Manage site demand and continuity.
Compare how storage could reduce short demand peaks, increase on-site solar use or support defined critical loads in a system designed for backup.
Start with these inputs
- Interval load data, tariff and demand charge rules
- Critical-load power and required backup duration
- Space, connection limits and operating schedules
02 / Interactive planning tool
Put a duration on it.
Compare rated discharge power and usable energy on the same AC basis. The result gives you an illustrative discharge duration at constant power.
100 MWh ÷ 25 MW = 4 h
This calculation uses the usable energy you enter and assumes constant discharge power. Confirm usable capacity, auxiliary loads, losses and performance over time with a qualified project team.
03 / Project guide
What to define before you request a quote.
A clear brief makes it easier to compare equipment, integration and service proposals on the same terms.
- 01
Define the operating duty.
Specify the power, usable energy, dispatch window and expected cycling. State where performance will be measured.
- 02
Map the site and connection.
Document the connection point, space constraints, access, and applicable planning and safety requirements.
- 03
Compare scope and guarantees.
Ask who supplies the controls, commissioning and service. Compare usable-energy guarantees, warranty exclusions and any augmentation assumptions.
