As renewable energy projects scale across Australia, the need for reliable, grid-connected energy storage has never been greater. At Australian Control Engineering (ACE), we specialise in designing, integrating, and commissioning Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) that support the growing demand for resilient and intelligent power infrastructure.
Understanding Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) Components
A BESS is more than just batteries—it’s a complex system built for high-performance, long-term operation. At its core are key BESS components such as lithium-ion battery cells, battery racks and enclosures, a Battery Management System (BMS), Power Conversion System (PCS), protection devices, thermal management, and high-voltage interfacing.
These components are designed to work in unison, ensuring stable and safe energy storage and discharge. Whether installed as part of a solar farm or a hybrid system, the entire infrastructure must be built for scalability and real-time monitoring.
Battery Storage for Solar and Wind Projects
In Australia’s rapidly growing renewables market, battery storage for solar and wind is essential for ensuring clean energy is not wasted and is available during peak demand. BESS allows developers to shift generation to match demand curves, reduce curtailment, and participate in grid services like FCAS.
ACE delivers tailored storage solutions that integrate seamlessly with solar inverters, wind turbine outputs, and utility substations—supporting consistent and efficient dispatch strategies.
Utility-Scale and Commercial Energy Storage Systems
Whether the goal is to stabilise a rural microgrid or support a multi-MW solar array, ACE provides utility-scale energy storage and commercial energy storage system design and deployment. Each system is built with a focus on performance, regulatory compliance, and long-term O&M efficiency.
Our BESS deployments enable fast response, deep cycling, and intelligent load shifting—all critical for meeting the technical and commercial goals of today’s renewable energy projects.
BESS Commissioning and Integration Services
ACE offers complete BESS commissioning and integration, ensuring every project meets functional, safety, and performance benchmarks. From FAT and iFAT testing to grid compliance validation, we handle every phase of commissioning with precision.
We configure and connect PCS units, BMS controls, protection relays, and SCADA interfaces—supporting real-time communication between field assets and control centers for full visibility and operational control.
Grid-Scale Battery Storage Installation and Support
Our experience in grid-scale battery storage installation includes everything from RTU/PLC programming to SCADA development and secure network design. We build systems that are grid code–compliant and ready for AEMO participation, voltage control, and peak-shaving programs.
By working closely with developers and contractors, ACE ensures your BESS is not only built to specification—but optimised for performance, longevity, and ROI.
