Fluence - a Siemens/AES joint venture - has been signed up to deliver a 10MW/10MWh battery based energy storage system, targeted for completion in May 2019. According to a joint statement, the project will utilise Fluence’s industrial-grade Advancion energy storage platform to provide improved Fast Frequency Response (FFR) capabilities, helping the project to meet new interconnection requirements for renewable generation projects in South Australia.

Nexif Energy announces successful “energisation” of the project’s major sub-station and associated network infrastructure. This will enable the project to begin commissioning the first of the wind farm’s 59 Senvion turbines by August.
