Battery development: an overview of our content

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are vital for grid stability and integration of renewable energy. Yet the technical challenges they present are often perceived differently by those maintaining systems day-to-day and those overseeing financial performance. This discrepancy in perspectives can lead to a gap in understanding and addressing technical issues, posing a hidden risk for asset optimization and long-term profitability.

Our annual gathering of the battery storage community, Batteries & Pretzels, brought together leading industry voices offering distinct perspectives on BESS deployment. Kay Schöne (Director Technical Asset Management, GreenFlexibility), and Roberto Jimenez (Executive Director, BW ESS) joined Julian Gerstner (Managing Director, MIRAI Power) to share their experiences and insights from developing and operating large-scale BESS projects . Here’s a look at the key lessons they shared.

At TWAICE, we often talk about data quality, analytics accuracy, and system performance. But there’s a critical input to success in the Energy Storage System (ESS) space that’s often overlooked: talent. Read Ryan's second post of his blog series "Problems and Solutions"
