Maximizing Battery Investments at Grid Scale
This playbook outlines how intelligent orchestration with centralized, real-time coordination supports utility-scale battery adoption.
The U.S. electric grid and the utilities that manage it are under mounting pressure to modernize infrastructure. Utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) have emerged as critical assets in this shift. Batteries can provide multiple value streams such as frequency regulation, peak shaving, energy arbitrage and backup power.
This playbook outlines how modern grid orchestration can unlock the full potential of utility-scale batteries and support a more resilient, flexible and economically optimized grid. Utility leaders share real-world examples and proven strategies for delivering enhanced grid reliability, operational savings and revenue opportunities in utility-scale battery adoption. Highlights include:
- How value stacking is a key untapped opportunity in utility-scale battery systems.
- Key strengths of Distributed Energy Resource Management Systems and how they monetize front-of-the-meter assets.
- How microgrid controllers address interoperability.
