Summary
Substations form the epicentre of the contemporary power system and comprise a complex array of facilities that include conventional substation equipment integrating fundamental power system resources with active elements including electrical storage and synchronous condensers. There are significant challenges with the integration of these active technologies on a grid-scale over the past years as part of the transition toward accommodating substantial volumes of inverter-based resources. Industry guidelines and standards remain to catch up with the rapidly evolving power system landscape.

Simultaneously there has been a growingly urgent need to source sufficient essential system service (ESS) provision as a substitute for the conventional ancillary services that were traditionally provided by large centralised synchronous generators dispatched efficiently to meet demand. Battery energy storage systems (BESS) have proven a formidable technology at the epicentre of the transition toward decarbonised electricity power systems and provides a significant resource to efficiently manage the contemporary power system.
Integration of BESS into the contemporary power system presents significant risks that are best mitigated through careful design of facilities taking a broader view of their scalable impact upon the power system as a whole. This paper presents BESS design considerations coupled with proposed dispatch considerations for grid-scale BESS within non-interconnected power systems.
