Ekistica authored ARENA’s Grid-Forming Battery Portfolio Series – Summary Report. This report is the first in a two-part series and presents findings from four ARENA supported operational grid-forming battery energy storage projects on the National Energy Market, highlighting their performance in providing synthetic inertia and system strength. It discusses technical, regulatory, and commercial lessons learned, including challenges and insights from the grid-connection process.
The second report focuses on how the subsequent ARENA supported grid-forming battery projects leveraged from the technical and regulatory advancements and on next steps to further accelerate the implementation of the technology. The second report will be published in the coming weeks.
