OVERVIEW
Front-of-meter and behind-the-meter BESS for shifting, backup, curtailment recovery, and grid resilience.
BESS decisions
- What MW/MWh size matches the service requirement and business case?
- Which operating mode creates the most value without excessive degradation?
- What safety, standards, replacement, and O&M assumptions are required?
BESS outputs
- BESS sizing and use-case definition
- SOC, cycling, and degradation assumptions
- Safety/standards and site-readiness checklist
- Lifecycle cost and operating strategy inputs
Storage inputs
- Load/generation profile and outage requirement
- Target service: backup, peak shaving, firming, arbitrage, or grid support
- Grid import/export constraints and site layout
- Battery cost, warranty, safety, and replacement assumptions
