Proper planning is critical to minimise downtime and risks associated with augmentation. As prices continue to fall, augmentation is becoming an increasingly attractive way for developers to mitigate battery degradation and capacity loss.
A project''s size, functionality and operating conditions can all impact how soon batteries will need energy augmentation — it could be one year, five years, or much further down the road. A decision on whether or not to design an energy storage system for augmentation is based on several variables, including a project owner''s preference.
As we continue to see investment in renewable energy, BESS will grow further in popularity and feasibility. Adding BESS to your solar or wind site can save money, improve reliability, and have positive impacts on the environment.
Augmentation: What is it and why is it important to BESS? Augmentation is the action of making something greater in size. For battery energy storage systems, this means increasing the battery''s energy capacity.
Whether installing a new facility or expanding existing systems, the augmentation process requires careful upfront planning. Before breaking ground on any battery energy storage system (BESS) project, preparing for
When designing and selecting a BESS the project engineer will deal with a battery specialist who will try to select the correct battery package for the application. This will involve creating a usage profile for the system, with
Whether installing a new facility or expanding existing systems, the augmentation process requires careful upfront planning. Before breaking ground on any battery energy storage system (BESS) project, preparing for future augmentation efforts is essential.

The RePower project aims to improve access to electricity in rural Africa by installing renewable plug-and-play microgrids in Madagascar, Niger, and Senegal. Our goal is to provide 20,000 off-grid consumers with access to clean, affordable, and reliable electricity by 2027.
BESS Augmentation and Degradation Management White Paper Revision 1 PAGE 5 Figure 1: LFP cycle-life based on DoD The need for BESS projects generally consists of a full discharge (i.e., 100% DoD) every day for up to 15 or 20 years. BESS OEMs provide guaranteed capacity degradation values as a table with per-year degradation rates. Due to
As we continue to see investment in renewable energy, BESS will grow further in popularity and feasibility. Adding BESS to your solar or wind site can save money, improve reliability, and have positive impacts on the
BESS augmentation is the process of adding battery capacity as the system ages. The timing of augmentation can be affected by the amount of system capacity overbuilt on the front end of a project. Every time a battery is cycled, its capacity and efficiency slightly decreases.
The proposed sizing algorithm iteratively evaluates the effect of BESS operation on battery degradation and estimates the cash flows of the power plant. In addition, we studied battery augmentation that adds the storage capacity in the base system to sustain the BESS capacity throughout the project planning horizon.
A variety of foundation options should be preliminarily designed and reviewed, such as driven piles, helical piles, concrete grade beams, slabs, and drilled piers. The sample site layout below will give you an idea of how these site plan considerations may impact a BESS project. Sample site layout for illustrative purposes. Check local standards.
