battery energy storage system

Enphase Energy has introduced its fourth-generation energy system with the new 7.08 kW IQ Battery 10C, which offers 10 kWh of usable energy. The battery expands the company’s storage portfolio and is made with United States components by a contract manufacturer.

Australian energy major, AGL, has reached final investment decision on the 500 MW / 2,000 MWh Tomago battery energy storage system in the Hunter Region, New South Wales, and has appointed energy storage company Fluence to deliver the project’s build.

GoodWe has released its BAT series battery cabinet for small to mid-scale commercial projects, with two capacities at launch at 102.4 kWh and 112.6 kWh, and outdoor use in mind.

Envision Energy and FERA Australia have signed an agreement to collaborate on the delivery of large-scale hybrid renewable energy projects across Australia’s national electricity market (NEM), with the potential to deliver up to 1.5 GWh of battery energy storage.

Victorian water and sewerage services provider Wodonga-headquartered North East Water is getting 100% of its electricity from renewable resources, including solar, battery storage, and wind.

Transgrid has chosen grid-forming batteries and synchronous condensors as its preferred system strength technologies, as coal generators retire over the next decade and renewable energy supplies the state.

Another big battery project has been unveiled for New South Wales with the state and federal governments receiving a proposal for a 1 GW / 4 GWh battery energy storage facility to be developed at Kiar, on the Central Coast.

Australian renewables developer Edify Energy has unveiled plans for a major 2.4 GWh solar and integrated battery energy storage facility in northwest Victoria, adding to its growing portfolio of power generation and storage projects.

Seven regional Victoria battery storage projects, all at the commissioning phase, will be the first to connect to Victorian distributor Powercor’s high voltage distributed energy resource management system, adding stability to the grid.

In grids increasingly dominated by renewables, grid-forming technology is emerging as critical tool for maintaining stability and ensuring reliable power system operation. In this interview with ESS News, Rui Sun, Sungrow’s Deputy General Manager-Grid Technology Center, explains how grid-forming works, why it matters, and where the technology is already proving its value. He elaborates on technical challenges, regulatory gaps, and why grid-forming could soon become the new industry standard.
