pv magazine Webinar | Optimizing co-located BESS design to overcome Australia's grid constraints

As Australia's renewable energy sector grows, grid connection is becoming one of the biggest challenges facing solar developers. Increasing network constraints mean projects often require detailed studies, including GPS and R0 assessments, and many sites cannot accommodate their full proposed capacity without careful optimization.

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are playing an increasingly important role in overcoming these limitations, but designing a co-located solar-plus-storage project requires balancing network constraints, technical requirements, and project economics.
In this webinar, experts from Enverus RatedPower will share real-world Australian case studies showing how storage has been integrated to improve grid connection outcomes, while demonstrating how solar design software can streamline network study inputs, evaluate BESS sizing options, and support more efficient project development.

The webinar is designed for utility-scale solar developers, EPC contractors, electrical and grid connection engineers, renewable energy consultants, independent power producers (IPPs), and asset owners involved in the planning and delivery of solar and solar-plus-storage projects. Attendees will gain practical insights into how grid constraints are influencing project design, how BESS can be designed to improve grid connection outcomes, and how RatedPower software can streamline network study workflows, evaluate BESS sizing scenarios, and support more efficient, bankable project development.
