The biggest Project Super Battery gets the Generator Performance Standard (GPS)
Waratah Project, the most powerful battery in the world, has got the approval by he Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) and now has granted Generator Performance Standard (GPS).
This important milestone for a Critical State Significant Infrastructure declared project moves steadily towards completion and marks the firs step for such a large battery energy storage project, facilitating the future of other “superbatteries” that may be forthcoming in the Australian National Electricity Market.
GPS approval represents the fundamental and most complicated step to achieve for any generation project in Australia. The GPS sets the standards that each generators and storage projects must meet in terms of performance to ensure stability and reliability of the electrical grid.
To achieve those standards helps not only to ensure a smooth integration into the existing energy infrastructure, but also to prevent disruptions.
With the GPS approval Waratah Super Battery project has overcome one of the biggest technical barriers and is now ready to keep being a key factor in the growth of the energy storage market in Australia.
