Battery Energy Storage Solutions

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)

Integrated solutions to help you decarbonise, save energy and boost your bottom line

Lead the charge with onsite BESS

BESS are among the most promising technology options available to support renewable power, and are expected to play a huge role in Australia’s future power system. Many businesses across Australia are well-suited to host a BESS, and are seizing an opportunity to increase resilience, improve their bottom line, and accelerate their path to decarbonisation while supporting the grid-scale energy transition.

Sustainable progress

This innovative technology helps businesses reach sustainability goals, significantly lower their carbon footprint, and support renewables.

Optimisation Software

Our DER.OS software uses advanced machine-learning and AI algorithms to optimise energy use and the BESS’ charge & discharge strategy.

Earn revenue

DER.OS is designed to maximise economic value by integrating with Enel X's Virtual Power Plant and enrolling it in Demand Response programs.

Finance solutions

We offer unique financing solutions - some of which are completely de-risked for businesses.

The business opportunity

Reduce your power supply costs

A BESS can optimise the profile of your power usage, serving to reduce the capacity charges you pay to the network utility, while also potentially shifting some of your power consumption from high-priced peak tariff periods to lower-priced off-peak periods.

Earn a new revenue stream

A BESS, when properly integrated into a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) platform, is capable of providing multiple different valuable services to the power grid. In aggregate, this can generate significant revenue.

Accelerate your path to decarbonisation

BESS have a critical role to play in supporting renewable power. By installing a BESS you are creating an important new source of green power capacity for your site that can also help support the grid’s overall transformation.

Whether you have an on-site solar (PV) system or an off-site renewable energy Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), a BESS can help balance the variability of your renewable supply. This could allow you to increase your utilisation of renewable energy while reducing the price risks you face when the sun isn’t shining.

Improve the quality of your power supply

Depending on its configuration, a BESS can enhance your protection against grid emergencies. Not only can it provide a seamless source of backup power supply in a blackout, but it can also protect against short brown-outs that can damage equipment.

BESS with Enel X

Our optimisation engine - DER.OS

Designed to maximise economic value, DER.OS uses advanced machine-learning and AI algorithms to analyse unlimited data including weather forecasts, energy market pricing, tariff structures, and VPP trading opportunities. DER.OS optimises the BESS’ charge and discharge strategy, decreasing demand charges and extracting value from multiple energy market revenue streams via our market leading VPP. It monitors its performance in real-time, recalculating the optimal performance every 15 minutes.

Our BESS service offering

While valuable, BESS are technically and commercially complex. There are serious engineering considerations, especially in relation to how a BESS connects to your facility and the broader power grid. And the business case requires a deep consideration of the direction of the energy market. We approach BESS the same way we approach everything we do – with a mission to make it simple for businesses to access new energy opportunities.
