What does a battery energy storage system integrator do?
Image: RWE. The battery energy storage system (BESS) industry is changing rapidly as the market grows. At the heart of what is becoming a crowded and competitive market is the role of the system integrator: putting together the components and technologies that bring BESS projects to life.
What does a system integrator do?
Image: IHS Markit. A system integrator is a company that specialises in combining component subsystems and ensuring that these subsystems function together as a whole. In the energy storage industry, a system integrator supplies the full battery energy storage system (BESS).
Are energy storage systems integrators maximizing the value of a project?
Often they leverage software and controls to maximize the value of a project, according to the report, Navigant Research Leaderboard: Utility-Scale Energy Storage Systems Integrators. The biggest energy storage market, long-term, is no longer frequency regulation because that market is becoming saturated.
Which energy storage integrator is the best?
Fluence has a track record of being the integrator of choice for ground-breaking energy storage projects. Last month, it was revealed that the US-headquartered integrator had been selected by Tilt Renewables to deliver the 100 MW / 200 MWh Latrobe Valley battery energy storage system (BESS) located south of Morwell in Victoria.
Are energy storage system integrators grid-connected?
The leading energy storage system integrators have built microgrids, but they’re not generally grid-connected, Ellis says. That’s because microgrid developers face challenges connecting their projects to the grid. “With microgrids, one big issue is the existing rules that allow utilities to be the sole provider of electric service in an area.
Are energy storage inverters a challenge to existing integrators?
With significant project pipelines dwarfing the existing installed base, energy storage inverter (power conversion system – PCS) manufacturers are expanding their presence targeting solar plus storage applications and existing integrators are challenging the incumbents.
