Decision

What the current evidence supports

Agent-assisted assessment · independently reviewed · 2026-10-01

Adopt for defined grid services when the specific plant and controls pass network qualification.

Why
Operating batteries demonstrate inertia support and repeated islanding recovery, with stability and protection performance dependent on plant and network design.
Next
Require validated plant models, fault and islanding tests, protection coordination and an agreed operating envelope before commissioning.

Constraints

Blockers

  • Project-specific stability and protection qualification.
  • Protection-quality fault current remains unconfirmed at scale for some services.
  • Battery headroom, state-of-charge and overload constraints.
  • Control tuning and model-validation challenges.
  • Evolving qualification and compensation for stability services.
