Webinar: Mitigating noise from battery energy storage systems (BESS) Kush Sutaria Senior Applications Engineer Darrell Furlong Director of Energy Storage Product Management and Hardware Engineering Belén Gallego CEO [Moderator] As more wind and solar PV generation is added to the grid, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are playing a crucial role in
Wärtsilä said on Monday that the transaction is worth US$170 million, dwarfing the US$50 million price tag placed on Greensmith''s rival Younicos by Scottish power equipment firm Aggreko, which bought out Younicos this week. Wärtsilä is targeting a system integration role for itself, leaning on Greensmith''s expertise and control platform GEMS.
In August 2023, Wärtsilä and AGL Energy completed construction at the Torrens Island grid-scale battery energy storage system in South Australia. The 250MW/250 megawatt-hour ESS installed at Torrens Island is expected to generate sufficient power to meet the needs of nearly 75,000 South Australian homes for an hour.

As Energy-Storage.news wrote at the time, California''s fleet of battery storage played a major role in avoiding widespread outages.The state now has around 4.6GW of battery storage online as of end-January 2023. The project, pictured, was deployed for developer REV Renewables in Calexico on the US-Mexico border.
Meeting these targets would put the country to between 50% and 60% renewable energy. Wärtsilä meanwhile appears to be ramping up its energy storage business in the Southeast Asia region, where its legacy business divisions have already delivered more than 9,000MW of mostly engine-based power solutions, including around 300MW of energy storage.
As well as delivering the battery energy storage system (BESS), Wärtsilä is the project''s engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) partner, and the deal with distributed energy project company AEP
