From first appearing in the GIS report - either when a Full Interconnection Study was started or an Interconnection Agreement was signed - projects took a median of 1,004 days (just under 3 years) to become commercially operational. 40 of the 41 completed battery energy storage projects reached commercial operations in around 4 years or less.
EPS has successfully completed the power system analysis project for an existing Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). The objective of the project was to optimise the existing DC and AC infrastructure to increase the BESS power output from 35 MW to 80 MW.
As of the beginning of June, 173 battery energy storage projects (larger than 9.9 MW) had both entered and exited the queue - with their entire development progress being visible in the GIS report. Of these 173 projects:
The following projects are based on battery. This list shows the latest innovative projects which can be built by students to develop hands-on experience in areas related to/ using battery. 1. Human Detection Robot using IR sensors This project involves building a robot that uses PIR (passive infra-red) sensors to detect the human presence.
ERCOT’s Interconnection Queue: How quickly do batteries progress? According to the May 2024 Generation Interconnection Status (GIS) report, more than 149 GW of battery energy storage is in the ERCOT Interconnection queue. This number has been growing rapidly, up from 103 GW just twelve months ago - a 45% increase in just one year.
Genex Chief Executive Officer Craig Francis said while the fire had caused a minor delay, the project has been completed within budget. “The completion of construction and commencement of operations at our 50 MW/100 MWh Bouldercombe Battery Project is an exciting milestone for Genex,” he said.
