Utility-scale BESS + Modular PCS + GridMind AI
Utilities and IPPs need MW-scale BESS for frequency regulation, capacity firming, and renewable integration. LEONICS delivers Modular PCS 0.3-3.2 MW + GridMind AI — and, for community energy, an Ethereum-based trading platform (GEMS) proven in Thailand.
Design figures for a system sized to this use case. What a given site actually gets depends on its load shape, the PV and battery sizing and its tariff — the worked examples below show the inputs.
The Challenge
Utilities and IPPs must integrate variable renewables, firm up capacity, and even enable peer-to-peer energy trading — all while keeping the grid stable.
- Renewable variability — Solar and wind output swings constantly; without storage it destabilises the feeder.
- Peak + capacity firming — Meeting peak demand and firming reserve capacity with thermal assets alone is costly.
- Grid services needed — Frequency regulation, voltage support, and fast ramping need quick-responding assets.
- Prosumer complexity — Rooftop prosumers feeding energy back make settlement and trading complex.
- Need transparency — Manual metering can’t support fair, auditable community energy trading.
MW-class solar and MWh-class storage meet on the DC side and pass through one Modular PCS, which GridMind AI dispatches.
