Who are the energy storage system integration teams

What does an energy storage system integrator do?

Energy storage system integrators play an increasingly important — and shifting — role as more renewable energy is added to the grid, according to a new Navigant Research report. Integrators design, build and operate large, grid-scale energy storage systems. Think Tesla and Fluence.

Are energy storage systems integrators maximizing the value of a project?

Often they leverage software and controls to maximize the value of a project, according to the report, Navigant Research Leaderboard: Utility-Scale Energy Storage Systems Integrators. The biggest energy storage market, long-term, is no longer frequency regulation because that market is becoming saturated.

Are energy storage system integrators grid-connected?

The leading energy storage system integrators have built microgrids, but they’re not generally grid-connected, Ellis says. That’s because microgrid developers face challenges connecting their projects to the grid. “With microgrids, one big issue is the existing rules that allow utilities to be the sole provider of electric service in an area.

Who are the leading system integrators?

rgy, NEC Energy Solutions, and Fluence have historically been the leading system integrators. In the future, the system integrator landscape will further diversify, primarily driven by energy storage inverter manufacturers expanding their presence, targeting solar-plus-storage applications and existing pl

What does a system integrator do?

System integrators, defined as companies involved in system assembly, design and commissioning of energy storage projects are increasingly adding software expertise to their core competency set.

How does Navigant evaluate energy storage system integrators?

In the report, Navigant evaluated energy storage system integrators based on analyses of the companies’ vision; go-to-market strategy; partners; production strategy; technology; geographic reach; sales, marketing, and distribution; product performance; product quality and reliability; product portfolio; pricing; and staying power.
