Case Study
Capital BESS
Capital BESS (battery energy storage system) is a stand-alone battery capable of storing energy with up to 2 hours of power.
Capital BESS is a part of the ACT Government’s renewable energy, the battery provides a predictable supply of electricity to the grid through its ability to dispatch energy during peak times of demand.
The Capital BESS is connected to the national electricity grid via the transmission network. It serves as a grid-scale battery storage system and consists of 627 battery units using high end batteries and inverters.
The project is designed to provide power to prevent blackouts during periods of high demand and in the event of failure of large fossil fuel generators in heatwave conditions.
