Maximizing grid-scale utility battery storage

This playbook outlines how intelligent orchestration with centralized, real-time coordination maximizes utility battery storage investments.

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 with OATI DERMS and GridMind® microgrid and DER controls 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.
