Science safety leader UL Solutions has announced a new certification pathway intended to help manufacturers of modular direct current (DC) battery energy storage systems (BESS).

Spain-headquartered power electronics manufacturer Ingeteam has supplied power conversion systems (PCS) for around 65MW/130MWh of battery storage projects in Victoria, New South Wales (NSW) and South Australia.

960MWh Summerfield BESS in South Australia enters commissioning, while Gotion starts building the 843MWh Lower Wonga project in Queensland.

Speaking to ESN Premium, Kashish Shah of Wärtsilä explains why Australia’s volatile market structure makes it uniquely suited for battery storage.

DC-coupled solar-plus-storage projects can reduce the time needed for grid connection approval compared with AC-coupled designs.

Octopus Australia has shifted its focus to constructing a DC-coupled battery energy storage system (BESS) in Victoria.

Habitat Energy has been appointed by Octopus Australia to provide optimisation services for two DC-coupled solar-plus-storage sites.

We caught up with the CCO of Netherlands-headquartered startup Moonwatt at last month’s Smarter E Europe trade show in Munich for a video interview.

Chinese battery manufacturer CATL will supply 2,400MWh of battery energy storage systems (BESS) for Edify Energy’s Smoky Creek and Guthrie’s Gap Solar Power Stations in central Queensland.

Solar-plus-storage projects are proliferating across the globe and necessitate a choice between DC and AC coupling. In this piece we look at the differences and pros and cons of each.
