Join ACE for an in-depth look at a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) site visit in Australia. In this video, ACE reviews how the project was delivered and shares key observations across the lifecycle. We also explain insights that can improve future BESS SCADA systems and strengthen energy storage projects across the industry.

During the visit, the end user raised several concerns. These included compliance with Australian Standards, control system performance, SCADA data management, communication with grid operators and the complexity of distributed SCADA architectures. These points align with common challenges in modern battery storage solutions and other utility-scale storage projects.

ACE uses these insights to refine the ACE EMS CONNECT framework. This step-by-step method guides planning, design, development, integration, verification, commissioning and handover. It aims to reduce project risk, support compliance and help renewable energy storage developments achieve first-time-right grid connection.

ACE applies this framework to support smarter and more reliable energy storage projects. We work with teams from early consultation through to operational readiness. If you are developing new renewable storage assets or upgrading existing control systems, this video outlines practical steps that lead to stronger performance and smoother project delivery.
