LS Energy Solutions is showcasing technology for its 200MW/400MWh BESS project at RE+ 2023 in California. The project is partnering with UK-based BESS investor-developer Gore Street Energy Storage Fund and developer Avantus, from which Gore Street bought the project. LS Energy Solutions’ modular 140 kVA string inverter AiON-SIS is key to the whole project’s technology, and it will be one of 137 units adding up to 400MWh of energy storage capacity. The company has only delivered its first system in 2022, a 14.6MW/13.7MWh project in New Jersey for the PJM market. From there, the new product offerings integrate power conversion and batteries into one unit, creating what Fludder describes as an AC battery. The cost of PCS failure in a project can be seen as an average of $1.5 million. LS is confident that the project will be successful and that quality control will be as tight as it would be for components made by the company itself.
