Session 2: Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) Developments for Mines

Session 2: Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) Developments for Mines

Day 2 - Energy Stream

Information

Major Australian miners including Fortescue Metals Group, BHP and Rio Tinto are already integrating big batteries as part of decarbonisation strategies while many others are adding and assessing smaller storage systems as part of mining hybrids. This panel will provide an update on the latest BESS technology advances and applications for mining.

  • How are miners viewing the potential role of energy storage as part of decarbonisation?
  • What are some of the key considerations for a mine when assessing storage options?
  • How are contracting models changing for Battery Energy Storage Systems to reflect the need for zero emission operation without fossil fuel generators?
  • How can storage address the technical challenges of maximising intermittent renewable energy for mines?
  • How is the focus shifting from battery technology performance to the role of advanced inverters and power system modeling?
  • What are the latest operational results, benchmarks and best practice for BESS at mine sites?
  • Integrating BESS for spinning reserve vs. adding more renewable energy - how do the business cases stack up?
  • What lessons have been learned from operational storage projects for mines?
  • What are the remaining challenges for mines looking to integrate storage into remote hybrids?
