Doosan, a global EPC leader in energy storage, will deploy a
lithium-ion battery solution ― bringing grid stability to the
backbone of the southern-NSW electricity network.
Neoen has named a consortium of Doosan Heavy Industries &
Construction Co. Ltd. and its subsidiary, Doosan GridTech, to build
the 100MW/200MWh Capital Battery ― the largest standalone battery
storage system in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). The
consortium will provide engineering, procurement, and construction
(EPC) services with a 20-year operations and maintenance program.
Doosan GridTech's Intelligent Controller® will orchestrate energy
arbitrage, fast frequency response, and ancillary services with the
potential to provide synthetic inertia or black start services in
the future.
Neoen's Capital Battery will significantly improve grid
stability and support ACT's shift to total carbon neutrality by
2045. Its 627-battery unit system is expected to be fully
operational by mid-2023 ― providing power to help avoid blackouts
during periods of high demand and when large fossil fuel generators
fail in heatwave conditions.
"We are honored that Neoen has chosen Doosan to deliver its
signature energy storage system in the ACT," said Wonyoung Ahn,
Chief Operating Officer - Doosan GridTech. "The Capital Battery
represents a big step in building our momentum to provide high
megawatt grid-scale battery storage systems. Once again, we are
demonstrating that competitively priced systems deployed alongside
advanced and flexible control platforms are winning propositions
for global renewable developers. Turnkey delivery provides
simplicity of purchase and a higher degree of short-term risk
management. Upgradable software ensures long-term risk management
flexibility for technology options and adaptation to meet future
grid needs. I commend our teams in the US, Australia, and Korea for
their significant effort in bringing this project together."
Doosan's Intelligent Controller is one of the first storage
control and optimization systems built on open standard interfaces
designed to meet the Australian transmission system's rigorous
requirements. Using advanced power system intelligence woven into a
comprehensive energy management platform, it responds rapidly
against complex schedules and intricate operating modes while
ensuring that power quality is safely and reliably maintained.
Neoen is one of the world's leading independent producers of
exclusively renewable energy. Neoen has over 4.8 GW of solar, wind,
and storage capacity in operation or under construction in
Australia, France, Finland, Mexico, El Salvador, Argentina,
Ireland, Portugal, Jamaica, Mozambique, and Zambia. The company is
also active in Croatia, Ecuador, Sweden, and the USA. Neoen's
flagship assets include France's most powerful solar farm in Cestas
(300 MWp) and two of the world's largest lithium-ion batteries:
Hornsdale Power Reserve (150 MW / 193.5 MWh) and Victorian Big
Battery (300 MW / 450 MWh), in Australia. Neoen is targeting more
than 10 GW capacity in operation or under construction by the end
of 2025. Neoen (ISIN Code: FR0011675362, ticker: NEOEN) is listed
in Compartment A of the regulated market of Euronext Paris.
