READ MOREVictoria''s renewable energy transition is well underway and its pace has exceeded expectations. The percentage of energy generated from renewable resources in Victoria
READ MORECurrent power systems are still highly reliant on dispatchable fossil fuels to meet variable electrical demand. As fossil fuel generation is progressively replaced with intermittent and less predictable renewable energy generation to decarbonize the power system, Electrical energy storage (EES) technologies are increasingly required to
READ MOREThe economics of energy storage is reliant on the services and markets that exist on the electrical grid which energy storage can participate in. These value streams differ by region, electrical system, and grid domain (i.e. transmission, distribution, customer-sited). Storage can be deployed at any level throughout the power grid, from
