Australia’s first portable 1MW/1MWh lithium-ion battery storage facility has been a success during the initial stage of a trial to determine if it can smooth peak demand periods.

The Grid Energy Storage System (GESS) automatically provides support into the 22kV grid in Melbourne, Victoria during busy periods and recharging during low demand periods during the two-year trial.

Victorian network operator SP Ausnet commissioned GESS in partnership with automation engineering company ABB Australia and battery manufacturer Samsung SDI.
