To site energy storage projects, analyze both the discharging (injection) and charging (withdrawal) studies to ensure that you can sufficiently charge up the battery (withdrawal) without breaking the grid and subsequently inject energy (discharge) back onto the grid.
In PVcase Prospect, you can apply filters to find POIs that meet all your requirements, including:
- Sufficient injection capacity and charging capacity for both the generation amount (MW) and energy storage needs (MW) of the project.
- You can filter for both injection and withdrawal amounts at the same time to target only POIs that meet both requirements for hybrid projects.
- Desired voltage range.
- As few pre-existing issues as feasible — typically, fewer is better to reduce risk that any won’t be addressed in time for your project, but some areas just have more pre-existing issues than others.
- Allocated costs within your project budget.
