Strategy, Planning, and Risk Review are all vital in getting your project to the finish line. For over 40 years I’ve planned and built many projects. And my new company, DGG5 Advising, is now the “Opportunity Maker” for the energy and construction sectors. Let me help you make a solid plan, bring the right people to the table and help you execute your projects.

My guests and I will share our experiences and show how we have helped many customers, owners, communities and organizations make the plans to succeed.

We’ll also look at the connection between what worked, lessons learned, and the new ways to solve today’s issues in developing, detailing, and building Transmission Lines, Substations, and power projects.

Generation - The Beauty of BESS

In our season two finale, I spoke with Carl Haeussler, Director of Business Development at Brookfield Renewables (EVOLUGEN), and a good industry associate. We discuss generation at a high level with a focus on Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).

BESS has seen rapid growth in recent years. It is a simple concept for storing excess energy from a high voltage grid or local distribution network, and using it during peak times when energy rates are at their highest.

BESS systems are complex, even though they are viewed as a stationary storage device. They can provide voltage regulations, frequency droop compensation, as well as functionality to black start grids during large outages.

The Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) has been working on their long-term plans to find and allocate resources to meet the demand and needs of the future for Ontario. The IESO views BESS as the most cost-effective solution on the market that will taper electricity rates paid by Ontario residents and hopefully reduce those rates.

There are no other technologies available on the market that are financially feasible enough, and have as low a public impact as BESS to support growth. It is one of the best solutions for grid stability.

The need for power in Ontario is greater than it has ever been. BESS is necessary to facilitate the growth objectives set forth by the province.

Key Takeaways:

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are good as a Peak Time Capacity reserve but are more complex than perceived. They provide voltage regulation, frequency droop compensation, and help to black start grids in times of major outages.
BESS operates at different voltage levels. It can be connected at 500 kV and 230 kV grid voltages as well as Utility scale installations from 34.5 kV to as low as 600 Volts. Find the right solution and design for your needs.
The value of BESS is revolutionary and is not optional in Ontario. IESO predicts energy demand in Ontario to grow by 75% by 2050. We need BESS as part of the energy solution.
From a grid stability standpoint, it is one of the best solutions. Find the opportunity to bring this solution to your system, customer, or project.
