From Design to Commissioning: EPC-Led Deep Dive into BESS for Financial Stakeholders
A Comprehensive Technical-to-Practical Lifecycle Walkthrough
This week Telelink Infra led a high-impact workshop focused on the current landscape and future evolution of large-scale Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). The session brought together key stakeholders to explore infrastructure readiness, technical design, risk management, and the strategic deployment of battery storage in the energy transition.
Bridging Expertise with Strategy
As the driving force behind the event, Telelink Infra reinforced its position not only as a reliable infrastructure partner, but also as a thought leader shaping the path to energy decarbonization. With extensive expertise in grid integration, infrastructure engineering, and project delivery, Telelink Infra continues to lead innovation in smart, resilient energy systems.
The workshop offered a deep dive into the end-to-end lifecycle of BESS projects — covering both colocated and standalone configurations, inverter and EMS compatibility, battery degradation modeling, and financial use cases such as arbitrage, peak shaving, and participation in balancing markets. Discussions also included CAPEX/OPEX benchmarking, ESG obligations and sustainable end-of-life battery management.
UBB: Enabling Collaboration and Long-Term Impact
