Grid-Scale BESS.
Front-of-meter battery plants that firm renewables, shift energy across the day, and stand ready to support the grid. We engineer, integrate, and operate them to grid code — with the dispatch logic and market interfaces that make the economics stand up.
The practice
A power plant that runs
on physics, not fuel.
A grid-scale battery is a generator, a grid asset, and a market participant in one enclosure. Get any one of those wrong and the plant underperforms for twenty years. So we engineer all three together — cells and thermal design, protection and grid code, and the dispatch model that decides when to charge, hold, and deliver.
Whether it sits alongside a solar or wind plant or stands alone on a merchant connection, the goal is the same: firm, schedulable power that the grid can count on and the numbers can justify.
- Sized from resource, load, and market data — not rules of thumb
- LFP cells with multi-layer battery management
- EMS dispatch tuned to grid code and market signals
- Safety engineered in — thermal, electrical, and fire systems
What we build
Front-of-meter storage,
every value stream.
The best grid-scale batteries stack revenue. We model every stream a plant can earn on your connection, then engineer and dispatch it to capture them in priority order.
RE firming & time-shift
Soak up midday solar and wind, dispatch it into the evening ramp — turning variable output into schedulable, contractable power.
Standalone & merchant storage
Independent plants on a grid connection that arbitrage energy across the day and trade into whatever markets your region opens up.
Frequency regulation & ancillary services
Fast, accurate response for frequency control and reserve products — a battery that earns while it sits ready for the grid to call.
Capacity & peak deferral
Firm capacity that meets peak demand without new lines or plants — deferring costly grid reinforcement to where it’s actually needed.
Round-the-clock (RTC) renewable power
Storage that reshapes intermittent generation into a firm 24×7 profile — the backbone of RTC and round-the-clock supply obligations.
SCADA & market integration
Full SCADA visibility and control, with EMS interfaces to schedulers, aggregators, and power exchanges so dispatch follows the market.
How we deliver
Data first.
Hardware second.
Grid & use-case study
Your connection limits, generation profile, and the markets you can reach — mapped against every job a battery could do on this node.
Dispatch simulation & sizing
Chronological dispatch across stacked use cases, with degradation modelled over project life to land power and energy ratings.
System engineering
Cell to container to substation: electrical design, thermal management, protection coordination, and grid-code compliance.
Integration & install
Civil works, PCS and transformer integration, and site works commissioned against factory and site acceptance tests.
EMS & grid-code commissioning
Dispatch logic proven against grid-code requirements and market interfaces, with SCADA and protection signed off end to end.
Operate & optimise
24×7 monitoring, augmentation planning, and periodic dispatch reviews — because markets move and cells age over the years.
Technology & standards
Boring by design.
At grid scale, that matters.
- LFP chemistry — thermally stable, long-cycle-life cells
- Three-layer BMS: cell, rack, and system level
- Liquid or forced-air thermal management, climate-rated
- Gas detection, suppression & deflagration venting
- DC & AC protection coordination studies
- IEC / UL-aligned system design and type testing
- Grid-code-compliant PCS with ride-through & reactive support
- Cybersecure EMS & SCADA integration
- Augmentation planning & end-of-life recycling pathways
Good questions
Asked often,
answered straight.
Standalone or renewable-coupled — which makes sense for us?
It depends on your connection, your revenue options, and whether you already have generation to firm. We run both cases in the dispatch study — coupled to your plant versus standalone on the same node — and show you the trade-offs before anyone commits to a topology.
How do you make the dispatch and revenue case stand up?
We simulate the battery hour by hour across every value stream your market allows — energy shift, capacity, ancillary services — and stack them in priority order. Degradation is modelled in from the start, so the numbers reflect the plant in year ten, not just year one.
How is a battery this size kept safe?
Safety is the envelope everything else fits inside. We use LFP chemistry for its thermal stability, add three layers of battery management, continuous gas detection and suppression, and separation distances per international practice — then coordinate DC and AC protection across the whole plant.
Can you build to grid-code and interconnection requirements?
Yes — grid-code compliance drives the design, not the other way round. Ride-through, reactive support, protection settings, and metering are engineered to the requirements of your connecting utility, and proven during commissioning against those exact interfaces.
