Wartsila claims to supply DC coupled hybrid utility BESS supplied to Australia’s NEM. The project plans to incorporate a 64MW/128MWh DC-coupled utility-scale battery energy storage system (BESS). DC-coupled batteries offer varying bonuses in comparison to AC. For instance, DC coupling allows solar generation to flow directly to the battery via a DC/DC converter, minimizing energy conversion losses and maximizing the use of available solar energy.
