The role of community-scale batteries in the energy

Australia''s National Electricity Market (NEM) is currently undergoing a rapid clean energy transition, with battery energy storage systems (BESS) set to play an increasingly important role. This paper investigates the role of community-scale batteries (CSB) in the energy transition, through several business model case studies and a regulatory

Grid Energy Storage

Introduction. Grid energy storage is a collection of methods used to store energy on a large scale within an electricity grid. Electrical energy is stored at times when electricity is plentiful and cheap (especially from variable renewable energy sources such as wind and solar), or when demand is low, and later returned to the grid when demand is high and electricity prices tend to be higher.
