As before with PV modules, quality control in the supply chain for battery energy
storage systems is becoming increasingly critical. Vicente Parra and Carlos Sandoval look at
some of the key steps to ensuring robust risk management in the selection, procurement and
manufacturing of BESS equipment
Intensifying competition and unpredictable market conditions in the BESS sector increase
the need for robust forecasting and optimisation strategies. Both elements are essential for bringing
projects to market and ensuring they remain profitable in the long term, writes Lennard Wilkening
Against the backdrop of ever-shifting market conditions, estimating potential storage
revenues is a complex challenge. Rachel Locquet of Clean Horizon explores the dynamics shaping
Europe’s main markets and how investors can make the best decisions for maximising revenue
ESN Premium speaks with King Look, director of research and development at New York utility Con Edison, about implementing long-duration energy storage (LDES) in New York City.
We caught up with the president of OCI Energy, a developer-operator with a 4-hour BESS in Texas, about the longer duration, long-term project ownership and why the current US-China tariffs create a huge challenge for procurement.
We hear from industry sources about the upcoming Real-Time Co-Optimization Plus Batteries (RTC+B) market changes in ERCOT, Texas, and why they represent a fundamental shift in how BESS will operate in one of the world’s largest and most lucrative energy storage markets.
