A feasibility study for BESS
Battery Energy Storage Systems examines whether the project can realistically be developed from technical, economic, and environmental perspectives. It is usually the first step before making an investment and provides the basis for the system’s design, permitting process, and financing.
The service includes:
Technical Feasibility
- Site Assessment: Land availability, accessibility, safety considerations, environmental constraints.
- Grid Connection: Proximity to substations, available capacity, interconnection requirements.
- Technology Selection: Choosing the right battery chemistry (Li-ion, LFP, flow, etc.) based on use case.
- System Sizing: Determining MW/MWh capacity according to demand profile, grid needs, or renewable integration.
- Performance & Lifetime: Expected degradation, cycle life, efficiency, and operating conditions (temperature, cooling, fire protection).
Economic Feasibility
- Capex & Opex Estimates: EPC costs, land costs, maintenance, warranty, insurance.
- Revenue Streams: Arbitrage (buy low, sell high), Ancillary services (frequency response, spinning reserve, black start), Capacity markets & demand charge reduction, Curtailment avoidance in renewable plants.
- Financial Modeling: IRR, NPV, payback period, sensitivity analysis.
Regulatory & Legal Feasibility
- Permitting & Licensing: Environmental approvals, construction permits, safety certifications.
- Market Rules: Participation rules in electricity markets, incentives, and tariffs.
- Grid Compliance: Ensuring BESS meets technical codes (e.g., fault ride-through, protection systems).
Environmental & Social Feasibility
- Impact Assessment: Noise, visual impact, land use, battery recycling/disposal.
- Community Acceptance: Local stakeholder engagement, safety assurance.
