Big BESS battery energy storage systems (BESS) are booming in Australia, with almost 5 GW of projects under construction last year, according Rystad Energy. While encouraging, it reports that the volume remains insufficient to overcome growing rates of renewable curtailment. From ESS News
An energy storage system (ESS) is a device or group of devices assembled to convert the electrical energy from power systems and store energy to supply electrical energy at a later time when needed. The Australian energy storage systems (ESS) market is segmented by type and end user.
MWh (Megawatt-hour) is a measure of energy capacity (how long the system can continue delivering that power output). For example, a 1 MW / 4 MWh BESS has four hours of storage capacity.So, while the system might be $200,000 per MW, the effective cost can be $800,000 per MWh if it has four hours duration.
The construction of the grid was anticipated to begin in early 2022 and is expected to be in operation by 2023. Thus, upcoming projects in Australia are expected to boost the demand for battery energy storage systems (BESS) during the forecast period.
The cost of building a substation is about 12-13% of the total CAPEX. But overall, high battery costs are going to be an ongoing challenge for Australia compared to rest of the APAC region,” Shah concluded. ENDS The Australian Clean Energy Summit (ACES):
