Currently storage of electrical energy in Australia consists of a small number of pumped hydroelectric facilities and grid-scale batteries, and a diversity of battery storage systems at small scale, used mainly for backup. To balance energy use across the Australian economy, heat and fuel (chemical energy) storage are also required.
Our smartly designed, IP-rated battery energy storage systems (BESS) are adaptable, easy to transport and install, and suitable for Australia’s harshest conditions. Designed to the highest standards, our units can be sized from 1MW to 200MW ensuring flexibility, modularity and redundancy at 11/22/33KV output voltages.
Energy storage systems involving a combination of storage types, for example battery and hydrogen energy storage systems (referred to as renewable energy hubs). Similar to all documentation, this guidance is an evolving document. From this engagement, multiple stakeholders have conveyed that other technical guidance is being developed.
UNSW is striving towards 1,000GWh of beneficial energy storage in Australia by 2050. We believe this level of storage will underpin a healthy society by promoting a resilient and sustainable energy system. Resilience means providing electrical energy more reliably, by accommodating variable generators and unplanned damage to grid infrastructure.
The advancement in battery chemistry and associated technology, combined with decreasing costs of supply, has seen the global growth and uptake of grid-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) facilities (shown as a contributor to transmission networks in Figure 1).
The second report identifies significant energy storage technology opportunities for Australia across global supply chains. Australia has world-class resources of raw materials used in battery manufacturing, most notably lithium.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 250% in the past two years. Containerized energy storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial and industrial storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 42% market share, driven by corporate sustainability initiatives and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 18-28%. Europe follows closely with 35% market share, where standardized industrial storage designs have cut installation timelines by 65% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 50% CAGR, with manufacturing scale reducing system prices by 20% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting industrial storage solutions for peak shaving and backup power, with typical payback periods of 2-4 years. Major commercial projects now deploy clusters of 15+ systems creating storage networks with 80+MWh capacity at costs below $270/kWh for large-scale industrial applications.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving industrial energy storage performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal operating conditions with 45% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 20+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $85/kWh to $40/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple industrial systems to operate as coordinated energy networks, increasing cost savings by 30% through peak shaving and demand charge management. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and thermal runaway prevention systems have reduced insurance premiums by 35% for industrial storage projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple system additions at just $200/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial and industrial projects typically achieving payback in 3-5 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard industrial systems (1-2MWh) starting at $330,000 and large-scale systems (3-6MWh) from $600,000, with volume discounts available for enterprise orders.
