STORAGE AND CONTINUITY
Resilience in reserve.
Storage is specified by duration and by the value of the interruption it prevents. A system sized for frequency response and one sized for overnight supply are different assets with different economics.
Capability
Resilience in reserve.
Duration and Sizing
Required duration and cycles established from the load and the failure it must cover.
Technology Selection
Chemistry and configuration chosen against duration, cycle life, temperature and site constraints.
Grid Services
Frequency, capacity and arbitrage revenue where market structures permit participation.
Continuity
Critical-load backup for facilities where interruption carries safety or commercial consequence.
Safety and Siting
Fire, thermal management and separation designed to the applicable standard and the local authority requirement.
What a credible project brief includes
- Location and site control
- Load or supply volume required
- Grid or offtake position
- Permitting status
- Fuel or resource availability
- Financing position
- Required date
