We delivered a turnkey CATL battery energy storage system (BESS) with a power output of 2.156 MW and a storage capacity of 5.644 MWh. From foundations and transformer station installation to positioning a 45-tonne battery container and integrating the system into grid balancing services and electricity trading.
Project specifications
- Technology: CATL
- Power output: 2.156 MW
- Storage capacity: 5.644 MWh
- Battery container weight: approximately 45 tonnes
- Application: grid balancing services and electricity trading
- Location: Czech Republic
- Year of completion: 2026
The challenge: battery storage for the energy market
The investor required a battery energy storage system capable of actively participating in the electricity market. The system needed to provide grid balancing services while also supporting electricity trading.To achieve this, the investor needed a single contractor capable of delivering the entire project, from civil works and grid connection to control systems and market integration.
What we delivered
PV SERVICE PLUS provided a complete turnkey battery energy storage solution, including:- Civil engineering works and foundations for the technology.
- Transformer station and connection to the distribution grid.
- Transportation and positioning of the battery storage equipment.
- Complete BESS installation and electrical works.
- Commissioning and trial operation.
- Remote dispatch control via RTU (Remote Terminal Unit).
- Integration into grid balancing services through an aggregator.
45 tonnes positioned in under 15 minutes
The battery container, weighing approximately 45 tonnes, represented one of the most demanding stages of the entire installation. The operation required precisely prepared foundations, an experienced crane operator and a well-coordinated ground crew.The entire lifting operation, from the initial lift off the trailer to positioning the container on its foundations with millimetre precision, took less than 15 minutes.
From installation to operation
Positioning the battery container was only one stage of the project. The next steps included installing additional equipment, completing electrical cabling, connecting the system to the transformer station and configuring the control technology.Following trial operation, we connected the system to remote dispatch control via RTU and integrated it into grid balancing services through an aggregator.
Today, the battery storage system provides grid balancing services and participates in electricity trading.
Why CATL technology?
We are not tied to a single manufacturer. For every project, we select the most suitable technology based on the required power output and storage capacity, operating strategy, grid connection conditions, control requirements and project economics.For this particular project, CATL battery storage technology offered the most suitable solution. In other projects, we work with Huawei, FOX ESS and technologies from other manufacturers.
