Akaysha - Brinkworth BESS.
Executive Summary.
R0-level modelling and connection studies were undertaken for Akaysha Energy’s proposed Brinkworth Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), in accordance with version 226 of the National Electricity Rules (NER). The BESS will have a capacity of 250 MW / 1,000 MWh, providing up to four hours of energy storage. As a bidirectional generating system, it is planned to generate and consume up to 256 MW at its point of connection (POC) at the 275 kV Brinkworth Substation.
The project is proposed approximately 5 km north-west of the Brinkworth township in South Australia, directly adjacent to the Brinkworth Substation, a robust part of ElectraNet’s 275 kV transmission system.
