Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are charging forward Down Under, with batteries big and small required on both the electricity transmission and distribution network. Alongside the growing need, a business case is also building with both high and negative prices becoming more common on the wholesale electricity market. Batteries are also emerging as the perfect tool to provide the necessary grid stabilizing functions as coal generators continue to exit the electricity system.
However, with the rollout of batteries at the distributed and utility-scale have come safety concerns. Recent fires and product recalls have brought the issue to the attention of consumers and regulators alike.
What is the outlook for BESS in Australia? How can battery safety and durability be assured? And how can risks be mitigated both technically and legally?
