The Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is connected to the local high voltage (HV) network with direct connection to the National Electricity Market (NEM).
The BESS is generating revenue by providing energy via arbitrage; and also providing grid support during demand peaks, while operating as a virtual power plant, trading on the wholesale energy and FCAS markets.
Yurika operates and maintains this system; which continues to provide us valuable learning and insights to enrich our capability in offering similar energy management services.
Different types and depths of storage:
Distributed storage: non-aggregated behind-the-meter battery installations designed to support the customer’s own load.
Coordinated DER storage: behind-the-meter battery installations that are enabled and coordinated via VPP arrangements.
Shallow storage: grid-connected energy storage with durations <4 hours.
Medium storage: energy storage with durations between 4-12 hours.
Deep storage: energy storage with durations greater than 12 hours.
Experience counts
In 2020, Yurika commissioned its own 4MW/8MWh BESS in Bohle Plains, Townsville QLD.

Commercial/behind-the-meter project
Batteries are a rapidly emerging technology which can provide benefit to energy security; reduce costs; and generate ongoing revenue streams.
Our expertise and capabilities focus on presenting a variety of products and services which can deliver several options for customers.
Utility scale/co-located storage
Our team has been actively engaged with numerous solar plant providers; in exploring the ways we can model, design, engineer and deliver grid connected dispatchable storage.
Once operational; we can provide ongoing operational and maintenance services. If you choose to generate ongoing revenue streams from your BESS investment, we can also manage it on your behalf.
