Data & Reports

The Australian Energy Storage Knowledge Bank shares knowledge and data from tests conducted as part of the knowledge bank project, as well as from other tests and demonstrations performed around Australia and the world. You can download test overviews and get in touch with our team of experts for more information, or to discuss your energy storage system needs.

Basic Operation of a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS)

This report provides an introduction to battery energy storage systems, and describes the basic operation of the Australian Energy Storage Knowledge Bank's Mobile Test Platform. Charging and discharging operation is exa…

Power Factor Control with a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS)

This report explores reactive power, power factor, and the ability of the Australian Energy Storage Knowledge Bank's Mobile Test Platform to control these quantities. Reactive power provides no useable power, but increa…

Microgrid Islanding with a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS)

This report explores the ability of the Australian Energy Storage Knowledge Bank's Mobile Test Platform to function as an islanded microgrid. Anti-islanding tests are shown, followed by bumpless segregation and reintegr…

Power Quality of a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) with Nonlinear Load

This report looks at the operation and power quality of an islanded microgrid with non-linear load. The Australian Energy Storage Knowledge Bank's Mobile Test Platform operated as an island connected to only the Thebart…

Long-Term Operation of Battery Storage System (BSS) in a Community Application with High PV Penetration

Grid-scale battery storage systems (BESS) can be used both in “energy” (such as peak shaving, arbitrage) and “power” (such as voltage and frequency regulation) applications. A microgrid with battery storage system (BSS)…
