Bankable planning. Technically sound. Ready for approval.

Planning & concept for utility-scale battery energy storage systems

In the concept phase, we work closely with you to define the technical, regulatory, and commercial foundation of your battery energy storage project. From system design and grid connection strategy to permitting, we create a robust project structure that enables well-informed investment decisions.

Why this phase is crucial

A utility-scale battery energy storage system is not defined by technical design alone. Successful project development requires early consideration of commercial and regulatory requirements.

A structured concept phase helps reduce risks in later stages – during construction, certification, and operation – while establishing a solid and reliable project foundation.

In this phase, we work with you to address key questions:

How should the battery energy storage system be technically designed?
How can grid connection be implemented efficiently?
Is the selected site suitable for permitting?
Which operating and revenue strategies are most viable?

The goal is a project structure that is technically sound and economically viable.

Our services in the planning phase

To ensure the successful delivery of your battery energy storage project, technical design, permitting requirements, and commercial considerations must be aligned from an early stage. In the concept phase, we support you in developing these foundations in a structured and integrated way.

Technical system design

We work with you to design a battery energy storage system tailored to your application, grid requirements, and site conditions.

Key aspects

Battery system sizing and configuration
Control and energy management strategies
SCADA system architecture
Grid connection and plant control systems

Precise technical system design is the foundation of a high-performance and reliable battery energy storage project.

We work closely with you to develop a system tailored to your application, grid requirements, and site conditions. Our approach considers the system holistically – from battery sizing and power electronics to transformers and control architecture.

This results in a technically consistent system design that ensures reliable grid integration and forms the basis for future operating strategies and market applications.

Permitting and site feasibility

We support you early on in addressing regulatory requirements and evaluating your project site.

Key aspects

Permitting and approval processes
Grid studies and grid connection
Certifications
Site requirements and constraints

In addition to technical planning, we assess regulatory requirements and site-specific conditions at an early stage.

We support permitting processes, coordinate grid studies and connection agreements, and prepare system and plant certifications. We also develop the technical basis for noise, water, and fire protection requirements.

Especially for complex sites – such as water protection areas, locations with strict noise regulations, or industrial environments – early assessment is essential for realistic and reliable project planning.

Commercial project structure

In addition to technical planning, we support the development of a commercially viable project structure.

Key aspects

Service and operating concepts
Business models and revenue strategies
CAPEX and OPEX structures

To ensure your battery energy storage project is not only technically sound but also economically viable, we work with you to define the commercial structure of the project.

This includes developing operating and service strategies, evaluating business models, and structuring CAPEX and OPEX.

Our system architecture provides the technical foundation for various market applications – including energy trading and ancillary services. Market participation is typically implemented through specialized partners.

Result of the concept phase

These planning modules form a solid foundation for the further development of your project.

By the end of the concept phase, you will have:

A technically sound system design
Planning ready for permitting
A defined grid connection strategy
A commercially viable project structure

This transforms an initial project idea into a bankable and executable utility-scale battery energy storage project.
