The Brains Behind the Batteries: Future-Proofing BESS Assets
Time: 12:25 - 12:40
Date: 24/02/2026
Synopsis
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) offer unmatched flexibility at grid scale, but this potential is only realised when supported by advanced control systems. As generation and consumption patterns evolve, so too must the strategies that underpin grid reliability. Modular Power Plant Controller (PPC) design accelerates deployment, enhances performance, and future-proofs assets.
We’ll examine how a modular PPC enables the rapid integration of new grid compliance functions, including virtual inertia and fast frequency response, helping BESS asset owners be the first to benefit from regulatory and market shifts.
